Tanjong Katong Technical & Rollei-Government TC – Frederick Puah | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Frederick Puah, owner of British Hainan, has two sides. He is proud of his Hainanese roots and oxtail stew, his father being a cook for a British family. He is also one of the Technical Generation when the government promoted industrialisation in the 1960s. He studied at Tanjong Katong Technical Secondary School and then Rollei-Government Training Centre, where he learned precision mechanics.00:00 Introduction02:48 Father was a Cook13:59 Kampong Loyang18:38 Tanjong Katong Technical Secondary School26:42 The School Crest & Anthem37:35 A 10-Year Bond45:37 RGTC Staff52:38 Precision Mechanics01:01:06 Tools & WorkshopsBritish Hainan: https://british-hainan.com/ Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
