THE HUNTER 
Amazing. Hats off. Bravo. Phenomenal.
Thanks Ben.
Brilliantly researched and presented. Again. I grew up with older relatives telling me various stories of Bugis Street, as they had passed through Singapore in the 1960s or 1970s – it’s great to see such a well documented post describing the whole thing.
Thanks Malcolm!
I’m Singaporean and I was born and bred in Singapore. I find this phenomenal. It brings a sense of nostalgia, but a little sad that Singapore has lost so much of its character. Its nice to be reminded of an interesting past though. Thank you for putting this together.
I am an ex soldier from NZ that served with the ANZUK Force in the early 70’s. Great memories and times at Bugi Strasus. Especially thwe dance of the flaming aresoles.
