Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. I’m Dr Loh KS, a people’s historian. I’m interested in the history of Singapore and the lives of its people. In Chronicles of Old Singapore, I speak to people about their memories of Singapore before it became a global city today. We discuss three topics: 1. People and places. 2. Change and continuity. 3. The importance of heritage. Caveat: this is a podcast based on personal memory. As has been well-documented in oral history, memory is not always reliable and what is recalled here should not be taken as fact.

Chronicles of Old Singapore | Gerard Ee – Part 2 Community Development & Social Service

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Gerard Ee reflects on the difference between community development and social service and how both can co-exist. He talks about how the problem today has shifted from the youth to low-income families and elderly. I asked him about the valuable research his team did on vulnerable families during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for practice research.
