The POW camp on Damar Laut was on the island of Damar Laut, which separate from the old Jurong Islands, now merged as Jurong Island. It was closer to the coast. It still exits (sort of) as a distinct location.<br /><br />In the old days you could look out to the Jurong islands across the water from the Damar Laut POW location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-55964158075114868822011-09-27T21:14:56.016+08:002011-09-27T21:14:56.016+08:00If you’re interested in “Shina No Yoru”, I just po...If you’re interested in “Shina No Yoru”, I just posted the original 78rpm version by Watanabe Hamako on my blog : http://ceintsdebakelite.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/watanabe-hamako-shina-no-yoru-china-night-she-aint-got-no-yoyo/<br /><br />Greetings,<br /><br />Ceints de bakéliteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-90581708214491348102011-02-05T20:26:48.668+08:002011-02-05T20:26:48.668+08:00Thanks Peter for the posts.

The bombs came down on the Tiong Bahru pre-war S.I.T. flats and the Singapore General Hospital. <br /><br />My grandfather and uncles helped out as Air Raid Precuation (ARP) Wardens and the bombs landed on top of Blk 59 without exploding. Those that exploded killed many medical students at King Edward School of Medicine which is now Block 6 of the SGH.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-84475904590203050042011-02-02T10:54:21.608+08:002011-02-02T10:54:21.608+08:00The movie is looking really very awesome and it is...The movie is looking really very awesome and it is one of the great context these all things are good to know about it.Pet Medshttp://www.petoptions.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-62051900037734993162011-01-31T15:49:35.937+08:002011-01-31T15:49:35.937+08:00These all entertainment of movie is looking really...These all entertainment of movie is looking really very awesome and it is one of the great context these all things are good to know about it.Dog crateshttp://www.purelydogbeds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-18811492289799016812011-01-30T09:10:07.617+08:002011-01-30T09:10:07.617+08:00Thanks for the post which brings back to a bygone ...Thanks for the post which brings back to a bygone era where entertainment was just as fun, albeit in a different context.

It re-opened with a new name and far significant changes from its original days.</i><br /><br />We just finished the gala premiere! Thanks for the lobang, Peter :)<br /><br />So Kym Ng and Marcus Chin were correct. Their restaurant had to close down due to the conversion to POW camp. They would have billed the Japanese later, haha.Icemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174805596607457468noreply@blogger.com
