I was 3 years old in 1951, so couldn't join you at the City Day at the Municipal Building (later renamed City Hall) on 22 Sep 1951.<br /><br />I enjoy learning from the blog that the City Day celebration 62 years ago was very exciting ...else I would have climbed up the Sir Stamford Raffles statue outside the Victoria Memorial Hall to watch the float procession as shown in the archived photo. <br /><br />It seems that the mata-mata crowd control at that time wasn't very strict ;)Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-91360467807101765972013-01-31T11:37:05.120+08:002013-01-31T11:37:05.120+08:00I remembered when Singapore was declared a City in...I remembered when Singapore was declared a City in 1951. I was in secondary I then. But I missed the celebration at City Hall as shown in the pictures. No money for bus fare lah.
