Looking at an open field with rubber trees, as the wind rustle through, you could hear the tall majestic casuarina tree leaves moving, you smell the tranquility and peace of a rural country side – Jurong Staff Quarters at Jurong Crescent Road.
My father works as a technician for Singapore Telecoms (Jurong) from 1958 to 1974.
As a bachelor, he stayed together with a couple of similar bachelor colleagues in staff quarters provided for a year before getting his own unit number 60, a two-storey block of seven homes.

Allocated as rental to employees working in Civil Radio Transmitting Station (Singapore Telecom).
In 1985, I decided to visit my old home to see what happened to it.
I was lucky to be able to view my old home for one last time before it was demolished and replaced with Pioneer Mall as it is now
