Chronicles of Old Singapore | James Kwok – Victoria School@Tyrwhitt Road

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. I’m Dr Loh KS, a people’s historian. I’m interested in the history of Singapore and the lives of its people. In Chronicles of Old Singapore, I speak to people about their memories of Singapore before it became a global city today. 
We discuss three topics:
1. People and places.
2. Change and continuity.
3. The importance of heritage.
Caveat: this is a podcast based on personal memory. As has been well-documented in oral history, memory is not always reliable and what is recalled here should not be taken as fact.
