Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Raymond Tan talks about working as a lab technician at Methodist Girls School for many years, the interesting places in the area around Mt. Sophia (today’s Dhoby Ghaut), and why he finally resigned. He also recalls moving out of Geylang Lorong 6 to HDB flats in two of Singapore’s early housing estates: Toa Payoh Lorong 1A and then Potong Pasir.
