Chronicles of Old Singapore | The Islanders Adam & Fawzi – St. John's & Lazarus Part 1

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Islanders Adam Giman and Fawzi Nasir talk about the two islands of their childhood in the ‘50s to ‘70s – Pulau Sekijang Bendera (St. John’s Island) and Pulau Sekijang Pelepah (Lazarus Island). They recall the staff quarters on St. John’s and kampong life on Lazarus. These were two different worlds, but shared a common relationship with the sea and the Riau archipelago nearby. 00:00 Introduction 02:09 St. John’s Quarantine Station 07:58 Staff Quarters on St. John’s 17:03 Relationship with Riau 26:59 St. John’s Island English School 28:46 Kampong on Lazarus 38:30 Staff Quarters 45:58 The Villagers I am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
