Rare Color Photos of Singapore From the 1950s and 1960s

The emergence of Singapore as the heart of Asia’s economy has come with many challenges. From its days as a small and underdeveloped nation, Singapore has emerged from the tumultuous financial, social and political changes over the years to transform into the first-world metropolis that it is today.

But back in the 1950s and 1960s when people had no care about the paper chase or the 5Cs. The children played bare-foot in the fields while adults crouched at the steps of their attap houses and work was just for feeding the mouths under the same zinc roof. The 1950s and 1960s also saw the rise of cultural icons that eventually shaped Singapore.
