Chronicles of Old Singapore | Irene Hoe – CHIJ@Victoria Street & Stamford Café Ep2

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Irene Hoe recalls having non-Chinese friends during her childhood in Dhoby Ghaut, as well as Indian, Eurasian, Chinese, and Malay classmates at CHIJ. She organised a three-day reunion party for old girls in 2006 and tells us why she feels CHIJ’s heritage and memory have not been adequately documented. 00:00 The Curriculum 06:27 The Malay Class 08:12 My Non-Chinese Childhood in Dhoby Ghaut 21:40 The 2006 Reunion 30:14 CHIJ’s Heritage 36:53 Multiracial, Multicultural CHIJ 42:05 The Campus in Toa Payoh YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ChroniclesOldSG Spotify | https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loh-ks Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/61551786759344/ Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/ChroniclesofOldSingapore
