Soh Weelian – A Boy from Kampong Potong Pasir Part 2 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Soh Weelian recalls the ponds, shops and hawker food of Kampong Potong Pasir, including having a delicious plate of char kway teow by a pond, the kindergarten he attended and a frightening flood in 1978. Interestingly, Weelian seems to be more nostalgic about the brief kampong life he experienced than his parents – a sign that documenting and conserving the past also matter to younger Singaporeans like us.Part 1 | https://youtu.be/Ds6fcU4k_BI Part 2 | https://youtu.be/mAfSUvwSj2c00:00 More Photos of Potong Pasir07:40 Houses & Shops16:51 Potong Pasir Kindergarten19:19 People were Friendly23:04 The New Flats of Potong Pasir28:03 The 1978 Flood37:26 My Mother’s Working Life44:28 Preserving MemoriesWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
