Pamela Sandanasamy – My Roots From Singapore to India Part 1 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Pamela Sandanasamy returns to the pod to talk about her roots, her wish to find out about her maternal grandparents and how this took her to India. In 2008, as part of the TV programme Muthal Payanam (First Trip), she travelled to India for the first time. She arrived at the town Pattukottai and the village Anaikkadu in Tamil Nadu. This was where her grandparents came from. There, she met relatives who remembered them.Part 1 | https://youtu.be/4CEY-EMAUMo Part 2 | https://youtu.be/9wZQStgIX9Q00:00 Introduction02:55 My Roots07:52 My Grandfather 12:39 My Grandmother15:40 First Trip & TV Show24:58 Getting to Pattukottai & Anaikkadu30:35 Immigration to Singapore36:42 The Economy45:16 My RelativesWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
