Do you know where this photo was taken? Ah Pui thinks it was taken during the Hock Lee Bus Riot or the Chinese Student Riot but he isn’t sure. The only clues were that they were taken during May 15 (year unknown) at Fort Canning Hill.

Just when I thought all is over for Singapore this boring island, something from the past came to light and change my point of view. Looks like my mum left behind some old photos of the troubled times duing the 60′s. These are some of the photos my sis scanned, one word, “COOL”.
These are shots of the troubled times that I have never seen before, even from the local media. Our history books photos are limited to those
few shots. These shots were taken during the riot at Fort Canning Hill, 15 May. I don’t know the exact year, so I hope someone here can help identify this photos and let me know which year this happened.

There’s another photo of the riot, and you can view it here.
