Different people from different parts of the world wanted to come to Singapore to reside and find jobs, and start a family here. Therefore, they travelled here by ships. Ships before 1960 were always packed like catte and sanitary conditions were poor, and most people would fall sick by the end of their voyage to travel to Singapore. Despite all these, people still wanted to immigrate to Singapore. From this, I can infer that many people thought that Singapore was a very good environment to reside in.

The second transport that was popular in the 1960s was the rickshaw. It was also the public transThport during that time. Rickshaws were human-powered vehicles   by which a runner has to draw a two-wheeled cart which allows to seat more than one person. The runner has to cycle the rickshaw in order to power the rickshaw in order to move around]]> 2017-03-31 01:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/163861531 FOOD fong_xin_yi https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/163861790 Illegal Hawking was a major problem during the 1950's to the 1960's.People were selling food and sundry items without a legal license.From this source,it suggests to me that the education in Singapore was poor and had no jobs to earn money or that applying for a legal license was really troublesome,discouraging  many people to apply for them.

It might have also been possible that some of them felt that their race was disregarded so they wanted to wear their traditional costumes to show that they were proud of their own race.

From this source,I can infer that the people were really poor and could barely afford to buy food or to even grow crops or that lesser people were willing to come to Singapore to trade crops or to sell crops for others.

This place had trained many National Swimmers and gained fame.

Cheongsam became so popular that even the pernakan women started to wear the cheongsam rather than the nonya Kebaya for formal occasions and family portraits.Students also wore cheongsam for graduation photos and so .From these resources, i can infer that cheongsam was very popular within women and people of other races also knew how to appreciate how the cheongsam looked. I can also infer that Fashion was very important as it could be seen as a wealth status, used to mark their education status, modernity and association with the chinese female elite in other countries.Not only that, i can also infer that since it was well loved by women, many shops would have sold cheongsam which would have contributed to the popularity of cheongsam in Singapore]]> 2017-04-05 15:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164912170 leow_suhui https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164913329 2017-04-05 15:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164913329 leow_suhui https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164914231 2017-04-05 15:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164914231 leow_suhui https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164915568 2017-04-05 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/164915568 CONTRIBUTORS leow_suhui https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/165152993 NG LIWEN(19) CLAIRE LIN KESHUN(6) FONG XIN YI(7) LEOW SUHUI (13)]]> 2017-04-06 14:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/leow_suhui/fdodrfdqkgav/wish/165152993
