This is a 8 mm film of Singapore in 1956.
The clip was provided by the family Westhoeve and I thank them for releasing this historic clip.
It shows street traffic, shops and buildings.
The clip has historic and nostalgic value for persons who lived in Singapore in those old days.

I was 6 years old and living in Royal Air Force Tengah when this film was made / i started school at the junior and infant school there / right next to the runway (almost) i remember that day when a Venom Jet flew into a married quarter near the school when it was taking off in formation / we witnessed quite a lot of the action whilst living there / The best thing i remember - well- it was the Base swimming pool / i practicaly lived there - in that pool enjoying myself / Good old days they were

wow this is really history! its a wonderful Singapore then, not like now! i bet the air was much more cleaner than now. people seemed happier then compared to now, where the government now is busy squeezing the citizens of their hard earned money! who cares about the poor anymore? Then was so much different, I really envy those born in the 50s', they don't live long enough to see the agonies of Singapore now!

I'm just wondering how someone could have had a camera in 1965 that has filmed this in colour. Well done!!
