The occasion was a Sunday practice for the all girls bagpiper. Apparently, they are the pioneers of our all girls bagpipers.

On 21st July 1964 (51 years ago), I was at the Padang to shoot the Procession Of The Birthday Of The Islamic Prophet Muhammad. In the same afternoon, the 1964 Race Riot broke out at lorong 12, Geylang.

Chingay Parade in the eighties was at Orchard Road. For me, the location was just within a stone’s throw of my home. It was an event free for all to celebrate Chinese New Year.
