Robinson before the fire was at Raffles Place itself. Your picture of Robinson was probably in the late 50s or early 60s.

never knew this part of history. The photos looks rather recent so I assume it’s still available and open to public?

I like the idea of Singapore Food Museum. Singapore Vegetarian Cuisine might be one of thing to consider, there is one of the oldest vegetarian restaurant (Loke Woh Yuen) situation at 20 Tanjong Pager Road for 80 years, so traditional that the menu has barely change. And Ananda Bhavan in Little India from 1924 till now.

Singapore’s Vegetarian Food Heritage?

I have been looking for historical maps of Singapore as a visual guide for a tour I am leading two weeks from now, and discovered this page and downloaded Ly Yng’s presentation. It’s a fabulous reference! Will now have to track down his e-mail and connect with him…

He didn’t change in the last months of his life, rather he had this opinion in his heart.
Don’t be fooled by his nickname “the Tiger of Malaya” one of the misunderstood events was when talking with Gen. Percival he became angered because his own man was having extreme difficulty in interprettting Yamashita’s simple question to Percival. My father was in charge of general Yamashita at the war crimes trial and said he was a very good man with a strong sense of morals.
