Chronicles of Old Singapore | Yeo Hong Eng – Kampong Chai Chee & Rollei Singapore Ep2

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Yeo Hong Eng remembers illegal wine distilling and secret societies in Kampong Chai Chee, as well as how the villagers tried to maximise their compensation when they were resettled in the 1970s. His sisters worked in the Rollei factory at the new Chai Chee Estate, and he became an avid collector of Rollei cameras. 00:00 Moonshining in Kampong Chai Chee 06:42 Secret Societies 11:49 Avoiding the Authorities 13:34 Rehousing & Compensation 24:23 Rollei at Chai Chee 28:18 My Collection of Rollei Cameras Mr Yeo can be contacted at yeohongengATyahoo.com.sg I am Dr Loh Kah Seng, the people’s historian.
