A look back at Singapore in the 1980s


SINGAPORE - Remember when soft drinks were sold in glass bottles and buses came without air conditioning? This video will remind you.


Shot in 1987 by a family of tourists, the video shows just how things have changed here in Singapore.


From the bumboats with painted eyes to the Singapore River clean up campaign, the video is full of little details only a child of the 80s will pick up.


Take a trip down memory lane and see just how many little differences you can spot in the video.
