I captured this image during the same period of “Mass Display of Singapore Youth Festival”. One of my prize winning image “The Only Girl In White” was also captured at the same event.
It is interesting to note that the SYF was first launched on 18 July 1967 by then President of Singapore Yusof Ishak, and was initially a two-week affair involving 24,000 students that year.

Annual Nine Emperor Gods Festival was one my favorite subjects for photography in the seventies. I think the polluted smoky environment of the temple in door filled with devotees has created a strong visual impact for photography. The shaft of light from the rooftop opening that happened only at the certain time of the day further enhanced the pictorial quality.

Potong Pasir at one time was a rural area that I visited frequently on my Sunday outing. This image captured in the seventies shows a corner of this village. Though the place looked remote, the serenity of village has disappeared since then.
