Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Ng Yan Ching, a former resident of Margaret Drive and volunteer with My Community, talks about why having been a Queenstowner, she is always a Queenstowner. She remembers her rental flat and neighbours at Margaret Drive in the ‘70s and ‘80s, her schools and several memorable itinerant hawkers who came to the neighbourhood.
