I was in Singapore in January 1991, and regret not filming it, particularly at Raffles and Boat Quay. I have now lived here for over two years, since 2012. Thanks for capturing what I didn't in 91
@Jeremy Wong if you think Sg isn't under threat from any other countries other than itself then we have nothing more to talk about because you are clearly a kid.
Singapore at its present state has lost its heart.1998 and below,that is where the real Singapore really is! The environtment,the condition,the local people and simplicity.Miss those.......
This video is a gem. I'm glad you got a chance to visit our country in a more rustic era. Some things, once gone, do not come back again, and the best we can do is to appreciate and cherish the fond memories we have of them. p.s. I know that somebody has already mentioned it, but the part where you filmed the "old buildings, not bland glass ones" is opposite Boat Quay. Judging from the filming angle, you probably were standing with your back facing the old Parliament House (currently the Asian Civilizations Museum) and quite near to the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, who founded British Singapore
The 1990s was my best year! Simple life. No social media. No mobile phone. The Restricted Zone now become an income generating machine with the ERP. Thanks for the video. I miss those times greatly!!
Yes the 90s was amazing. The hype for Jurassic Park/Titanic/Matrix/Lion King, the techno music and pirated CDs/DVDs everywhere, cigarettes only costed $4 a pack and chicken rice from $1.50 - $2
Thank you for your videos because these are the precious moments of Singapore timelines. Even SBC doesn't have this kind of films much. Also, I love the 90s buses, spacious, comfort seat and good air con than today buses. What are they thinking? Hard seat, small space and air con sucks.
I lived/studied in Sg between 91-93 in the prime of my youth...some of the best years of my young adult life. These bring back many fond memories as i did a lot of walking/exploring after my classes in Chinatown.
Brings back lots of fond memories. Non-aircon bus, loved the breeze when the bus moved. It wasn't that hot and many buildings then. Climate changes drastically within a short span of 30 years.
Thank you for recording a part of our history. Took some time to watch old videos of Singapore. Time 8:23. Looks like filming from Alkaff Bridge and looking towards Pulau Saigon Bridge and The Warehouse. The old shophouses on the right seems to be Robertson Quay. Time 9:00. Looks like filmed from Clifford Pier.
It's nice to see a part of Singapore back in the good old days. It almost drives me to tears every time I think about it...how I very much miss my childhood, free of the shackles of adulthood and expectations.
Thats honesty here. Most people who miss those times were kids or teens who did not have much responsibilities. Presently they are adults and hold much more responsibilities therefore would always think Singapore was better in 1980,90. Because no need to work, pay bills. Just ask parents for money go dating.
@@noproblematallmate Even as adults of those days, their stresses were different and I would argue to be not as high as today's. The era of e-mail, laptops, wireless gadgets has made things convenient and accessible but it has also quickened the pace of work tremendously. Because of that, a lot more is expected of each worker and people are now glued to their devices more than their own respective family. Plus, economic downturns and retrenchments are more prevalent today. Job stability/security is no longer a thing. We used to be more sparsely populated relatively speaking. There was a sense of space where Singapore wasn't as built up as today. There are other reasons why the 80s and 90s were better for many of us, but of course the later years were still good on their own merits.
@@oldbutbold the world evolves because technology do. Do not be surprised if the next industrial revolution takes place where AI and advanced tech will replace most workers. People can start living their lives instead of working but also has its cons. People will have to live off Universal Basic Income and take on responsibilities to fufil their time. Nobody is being forced into a job they do not like. Example those jobs that you have to be in front of computer. There are many manual work like handyman or chefs. It really is a decision only one can make for himself. In fact, hands-on technicians like handyman can earn quite good income. Its really on personal choice and nobody is being forced. Its all in the mind. Job security is no longer a thing? Isn't it good that workers know they will be replaced if they stary slacking off behind others? Gone are the days where workers do not improve themselves and simply leech off a lifelong company. Humankind need to improve constantly. In fact, if any Singaporeans like the old-school less stress lifestyle, there are many less developed countries or less stress lifestyle countries they can consider migrating to. You cant stop SG from developing but nobody else is holding on to your passport and stopping you. In the end, everyone can take charge of their own lives instead of blaming external factors around them. Be responsible for your own life.
@@noproblematallmate to be honest, I don't understand your argumentative tone especially at the end. You're telling me I can pack up if I wish, that is very rude of you.
@@oldbutbold its as straightforward as it goes. Its for the better for everyone if you can be at somewhere else your prefer. Being rude doesn't make it not a fact.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. 8:21 is along Robertson Quay / Singapore River facing CBD / Chinatown. The bridge / road in front is Saiboo St / aka Pulau Saigon Bridge; 9:05 from the viewpoint, I’m pretty sure it was the old Clifford Pier, now refurbished into a fine dining restaurant named “The Clifford Pier Restaurant” part of the Fullerton Bay Hotel.
Your ancestors came from overseas and were deemed by local Malays as foreigners as well. If they were not given a chance to stay here and build a family then there will not be you.
A Lot has Changed. There are now Citaros, B9TLs and even the Enviro 400H's Cousins. The Enviro 500MMC. Trans Island has become SMRT and SBS had added 'Transit' to its name
Thanks alot for this video! I was born in 1989.. and i only remember taking the old buses with no aircon.. so fascinating to see the mix of new and old buildings in the cbd area
This was the time when I worked in K.L. but would visit Singapore maybe once every month, which was a wonderful break each time. I used to stay at The Orchid Inn on Dunearn Road.
Brings back so much memories. Specialist shopping centre where I met the love of my life, working as a part timer in John Little’s ladies department during school holiday.
This happens everywhere - until people realise that the buildings which are being replaced have some visual merit and at least some examples should be retained for the benefit of future historians, etc
Hello - I just saw your video. Fantastic - this was the year I came to Singapore and have been there since. Love to have a copy of the video. How is this possible ? Thanks for contacting me. Cheers Will
ho ho ho ho, thanks for the sharing pal, noticed that uob plaza was under construction then ................... and the emerald hill alfresco watering hole ............. Wonderful memories!
Yes, these were the street scenes back in 1991 when first started to work in Singapore. Worked, lived, and raised a family in Singapore until 2002. Much has changed. I couldn't recognize the places I frequented back then. Amazing, absolutely amazing changes in a short time! Food was very cheap back then; now it's doubled or maybe more! A sure sign of modernization!
Such simpler times. I was in secondary school during this period. My father worked at the Hyatt Hotel at Scotts road near Orchard road. This is the old Orchard Road I remember growing up. Seems less crowded and less complicated back then...
Oh yes, many of the old buildings no longer exist, and the non-airconditioned busses. Singapore is over populated today, unlike the past which u had shot in your video. It's nice to view what it was like in the past.
The place you’re not sure of filming is Boat Quay. UOB 1 & 2. The road in front of the shop houses are close to vehicular traffic. It’s occupied by F&B outlets today.
this was the time when many of my friend came on time of meetup yes .. even tho they didnt own any handphone or pager at this time...... when we plan 3pm yes all is here at 3pm atleast 10min late.......
When I went to Singapore in 1991 I did not have a smartphone or anything like that. I sometimes used a public telephone to call home (paying for the call with a magnetic stripe credit card) but apart from these short phone calls I was away from home for three weeks with zero contact with my family. This is how life was and no-one was sad or felt bad - because did not know anything else. Nowadays (2019) life is so different.
I saw all the development of all these street from 1970 to now. So much changes....from sea to reclaim ed land to high buildings.... I still prefers the 90, half manual half computerised....the works are faster, best customers services, nice foods, food are reasonable and more spacious in town area. Now....everything in town are worst....worst.
I've only visited Singapore once, in September 2009, for about 4 days / 3 nights, with my father. I saw quite a lot during that time despite it being such a short period.
+citytransportinfo I believe the bland glass building is the UOB towers, and the older buildings are the remnants of the old shophouses which were used by merchants for trading along the river (Singapore River). The houses have been retained with interiors renovated and used for mainly restaurants & bars.
my oh my. how nostalgic. back when life was so simple as a kid in school. i remember that junction at orchard road, we can still cross over to wheelock from where Orchard ION is now. tangs building look exactly the same! 8:30 onwards was along the singapore river. 10:58 - the place should still be exactly the same now, that circular underpass tunnel, lamp post and buildings in the background. the same applies to 13:06. ahhh how i wish i'm back there (then) now... life's so much simpler...
At 8:22 you are probably standing on Coleman Bridge. Camera is facing roughly westwards. The tall orangey building is Landmark Tower. Today this view is partially obstructed by new buildings such as The Central and Soho 1. At 8:32 you are near Cavenagh Bridge behind Asian Civilisations Museum. The building under construction is UOB Tower 1.
I was a 90s kid.. i remember taking those non aircon buses.. so windy when u go on upper deck.. the only bad thing was rainy days.. the seats next to window got wet and got less seats cos everyone just take the outside seat
Omg.. this is old North Bridge Road..the odeon cinema I watched star war 456, King Kong, Spider-Man, jaws, Friday the 13th and Indians Jones . On the same stretch corner was the coffee shop which sold one of the best char kway teow and very delicious popiah. Opposite was the best Hwa Heng beef noodles in Singapore.
The same could be said for London / the rest of the UK too. In a few decades from now people will look back at our present-era, what I do not know is whether they will do this with affection or with happiness that things have changed!
it is a part of globalisation. I was born in the late 70s and I still remember certain meeting places only people during our generations know. But well, things have to move insnt it. We cant remain the same. Same goes for all the countries in the world. We can remember our past but we have to embrace the future. Once we can do that , the present can be enjoyable too.
i love what singapore was but not really what it is. sure there's all this new buildings and fancy stuff but we lost our essence and uniqueness imo. I wished i was born much earlier, getting to taste what the 'hard' but amazing life is about.
I was in Singapore in January 1991, and regret not filming it, particularly at Raffles and Boat Quay. I have now lived here for over two years, since 2012. Thanks for capturing what I didn't in 91
Life was simpler then. Singapore was charming. That was our Singapore.
Continue a simple life and less developments and suddenly another country will walk over and take your independence.
@Danny Danny stop replying like a kindergaten kid
@SavageArfad you know too little thats why you do not have an argument. You only have insults. Did your mother teach you how to comment?
@Jeremy Wong every single country poses a threat. Threat level highly depends on who is elected to run it.
@Jeremy Wong if you think Sg isn't under threat from any other countries other than itself then we have nothing more to talk about because you are clearly a kid.
Singapore at its present state has lost its heart.1998 and below,that is where the real Singapore really is! The environtment,the condition,the local people and simplicity.Miss those.......
Some of the old structures should have been retained. Some of the developments happened too fast.
But I reget I did not come 10 or 15 years earlier.
MultiOasisfan I agree 101%!. 1998 was the last of the best of the 90s.. 1999 was a transitional period for the year 2000 and technology.
Whatever
1998 was the year I married the wrong man. I was 28. Urghhh... Wish I could turn back time. I miss the 90s.
Singaporeans born in the 2000 will say the same. Singaporeans born on 2020 will say the same as well. So move on, the world is always evolving.
Visited SG as a kid in 1992 and this is exactly how I remember it back then...great memories.
This video is a gem. I'm glad you got a chance to visit our country in a more rustic era. Some things, once gone, do not come back again, and the best we can do is to appreciate and cherish the fond memories we have of them.

Thanks for sharing! I missed the olden days of Singapore.
I was born in this year! This is how I remember my childhood. Brings back memories!
Anyone watching during the covid19 partial lockdown in singapore ?
Nah, I'm from the future
I am
I AM THE REAL FROM THE FUTURE
Thanks for posting this - it sure brings back memories and nostalgia.
The 90s was the best time to be a Singaporean
Agreed.. late 80s also golden times too.
Do the both of you use smart phone?
I was a carefree teenager in the 80s. Centrepoint was my favorite hang out. 80s and 90s are amazing era!
Yes the 90s was amazing. The hype for Jurassic Park/Titanic/Matrix/Lion King, the techno music and pirated CDs/DVDs everywhere, cigarettes only costed $4 a pack and chicken rice from $1.50 - $2
Singapore very peace that time.

I love this Video. Thanks for brings back my memory.
oh wow back when people were not glued to their smart phones when walking. the walkways are mostly locals and not congested by foreigners,
In those days the concept of smart phones would have been seen as Star Trek science fiction!
And also they dont have grass on the sidewalk...
Ok boomer
Been there..seen that
Your ancestors came from overseas and were deemed by local Malays as foreigners as well. If they were not given a chance to stay here and build a family then there will not be you.
I used to think the 70s were 30 years ago. Now it’s the 90s that are 30 years ago.
I was born in 1992 and for me, the '90s will always be "10 years ago" since I came of age in the 2000s.

Honestly, as a Singaporean, Singapore growth really creeps me out. Old build replaced by new building and whatever left is just my childhood memories.

5:41 / 6:08 This nice quiet terrace opposite of Lucky Plaza is a nice place to have some refreshment.

Did you visit Changi village too?
I’d love to see a video of that area in the 90s
The area of old shop buildings (not the bland glass ones) you were filming looks like Boat Quay.
thubbster Thanks. Simon
+citytransportinfo I believe the bland glass building is the UOB towers, and the older buildings are the remnants of the old shophouses which were used by merchants for trading along the river (Singapore River). The houses have been retained with interiors renovated and used for mainly restaurants & bars.
thx for sharing this video! so nostagic =D
Una mirada al pasado de una gran nación. Es mi gran deseo estar ahí algún día
Back when it was perfect. Lucky to be born in 90s.
my oh my. how nostalgic. back when life was so simple as a kid in school. i remember that junction at orchard road, we can still cross over to wheelock from where Orchard ION is now. tangs building look exactly the same! 8:30 onwards was along the singapore river. 10:58 - the place should still be exactly the same now, that circular underpass tunnel, lamp post and buildings in the background. the same applies to 13:06. ahhh how i wish i'm back there (then) now... life's so much simpler...
When i went to London and Melbourne, i find remarkable similarity in the city planning as we , Singaporean, are so familair with.
Is that SOGO bulding at the end?
At 8:22 you are probably standing on Coleman Bridge. Camera is facing roughly westwards. The tall orangey building is Landmark Tower. Today this view is partially obstructed by new buildings such as The Central and Soho 1.
At 8:32 you are near Cavenagh Bridge behind Asian Civilisations Museum. The building under construction is UOB Tower 1.
Wah jvc colour. When developing photos have good quality.... Now these print show so cheapo quality but charge expensive.
The location at 8:28 seems to be Clarke Quay.
I was a 90s kid.. i remember taking those non aircon buses.. so windy when u go on upper deck.. the only bad thing was rainy days.. the seats next to window got wet and got less seats cos everyone just take the outside seat
Great Video. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Always amazing😊❤
Omg.. this is old North Bridge Road..the odeon cinema I watched star war 456, King Kong, Spider-Man, jaws, Friday the 13th and Indians Jones . On the same stretch corner was the coffee shop which sold one of the best char kway teow and very delicious popiah. Opposite was the best Hwa Heng beef noodles in Singapore.
i miss A&W... I heard they're bringing it back
It's at jewel now. The latest attraction to Changi airport
Miss those days when Singapore was mostly Singaporeans.
I miss the 70s, 80s & 90s Singapore way of life
The same could be said for London / the rest of the UK too.
In a few decades from now people will look back at our present-era, what I do not know is whether they will do this with affection or with happiness that things have changed!
No worries, coronavirus can bring you back to the era.
I was born slightly more than 10 years later but to think the change would be this drastic in only 10+ years! :0
9:00 Filmed from Clifford Pier/Collier Quay.
Thanks so much :)
I used to work there at robinson road 2007 my offuce was in robinson point a few walks to raffles mrt and lau pa sat
Wow this brings back memories when I was growing up
i see mostly genuine locals back then, nowadays more foreigners...cecas, fts and newcitizens....sigh
There were many foreigners then too, just not as many
@@mike04574 but still majority local tho. Few years time in the future Singapore local will be a minority tho
Lol yall act like you didn't come from immigrants
it is a part of globalisation. I was born in the late 70s and I still remember certain meeting places only people during our generations know. But well, things have to move insnt it. We cant remain the same. Same goes for all the countries in the world. We can remember our past but we have to embrace the future. Once we can do that , the present can be enjoyable too.
In the 90's most memorable during Swing Singapore held in Orchard Road...
Have you been on the SMRT
Yes! I have several films here on UA-cam which include the Singapore MRT
i love what singapore was but not really what it is. sure there's all this new buildings and fancy stuff but we lost our essence and uniqueness imo. I wished i was born much earlier, getting to taste what the 'hard' but amazing life is about.
Miss this old singapore. Too many people living here nowadays..
Ahah the year i was born, waxing nostalgic.
that is a good time to live in singapore where there is not so crowded and not so many foreigner
There's something about this video that is so interesting
Best place to live!
Missed those old SBS buses, when raining everyone in the bus has to close the windows
Nothing change, only taxi and changes that's all. 90s was our golden years. 90s still the best.
1991 got digital video cam? 😅
Hello, not digital but analogue - S-VHS video tape - Panasonic MS50 camcorder. I bought it in December 1989
Amazing
The Dalhousie Obelisk has been removed as it interfered with the 'fengsui'of the area. It is believed to be a s atanic symbol.
Yes, it symbolises the p***s and the dome a womb.
I heard LKY was very particular about urban fengshui
8:23 makes me think about Clarke Quay. And 8:34 Boat Quay (as you didn't remember where you filmed :D )
Best year for Singapore because that's when I was born!
Yess Spore look so nice back then.....
