Music is from The STYLERS' "Visit Malaysia 1990" album.
This prolific recording group began in the 1960's and thrived through the 70's and beyond, releasing a long string of popular guitar instrumental dance music.

The STYLERS' "Di Tanjong Katong" is perfect for this little slide show that shows life in Katong and Joo Chiat area in the early 1960's as I remember it.
Katong Beach and Joo Chiat was where I grew up in the late 50's and early 60's. The area has changed a lot since then, as the slide show also shows the neighborhood as it looks today.
My beloved Katong Beach is no longer where it used to be, but has been moved farther south.
