Chronicles of Old Singapore | Venugopal Kurup – Queen’s Crescent, Silat School & Shell Part 1Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Venugopal Kurup takes us back to the 1950s and 1960s and the interesting people he still remembers. He studied at Silat Integrated School in Kampong Bahru and lived in a flat at Queen’s Crescent, the fifth neighbourhood of Queenstown New Town. This ended in 1966 when his mother returned to India, taking with her Venugopal and the rest of her children. 00:00 Introduction02:00 Silat Integrated School06:49 Singapore’s Separation17:56 Queen’s Crescent23:57 Alexandra Village34:51 Visits to Tanjong Pagar & Breeze Road36:13 Leaving for IndiaI am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
