from Chronicles of Old Singapore · host Loh Kah Seng
Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Upon graduating from SJI in 1964, Matthew Lui joined the newly formed Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) as a harbour pilot. Close to the dawn of Singapore’s independence, he was among a pioneer group of local pilots being trained to take over from the departing British pilots. As a young cadet and later as a certified pilot, he sailed on Dutch and other ships to ports around the world.Part 1 | https://youtu.be/10ykZ-kUKME Part 2 | https://youtu.be/tm7BLGRysIE Part 3 | https://youtu.be/cmg1KDdGzic00:00 My Certificate09:03 Harbour Pilot20:52 Being Observant23:15 British Pilots26:21 The Cadet32:09 World JourneysWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
