Birth of "Diary of A Nation" Blog



I have the pleasure to announce the creation of a new blog: "Diary of A Nation".

While searching for further update about Bukit Ho Swee fire on YouTube, I found that a documentary TV series produced by Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), the predecessor of MediaCorp TV in 1988.

With courtesy of Caix92 for thanks and acknowledgement, the series of "Diary of A Nation" on TV Singapura 25 years ago and are converted into video and posted to YouTube. As I seldom watched TV in those days, I missed the entire "Diary of A Nation" documentary TV series.

The purpose of the "Diary of A Nation" blog serves as an exclusive easy-to-use  index compiled by video title of 37 episodes on YouTube. The blog address at http://www.diaryofanation.blogspot.sg/ as the original title with its name "Diary of A Nation".

The younger generations of Singaporeans could learn from this series of  SBC documentary video as part of  national education of the history of the tumultuous periods of Singapore in the early days of our nationhood.
