Step back into a decade of transformation with "Singapore in the 70s". Following the success of his bestseller Singapore in the 60s, author James Suresh (co-creator of the iconic Mr. Kiasu) teams up once again with award-winning illustrator Syed Ismail to capture the "wild" and vibrant spirit of Singapore’s teenage years.

A Nostalgic Walk Down Memory Lane
While the 60s were about childhood and nation-building, the 70s brought an explosion of pop culture, a growing economy, and a shifting landscape. Through a series of humorous anecdotes and charming comic-style illustrations, Suresh recounts his personal experiences as a teenager navigating this exciting era.

What’s Inside:

• Pop Culture & Lifestyle: Relive the days of long-haired rock scenes, bell-bottoms, and the "wilder" side of Singapore’s youth culture.

• Iconic Landmarks: Explore memories of drive-in cinemas, the legendary Van Kleef Aquarium, and the bustling street life of old Singapore.

• Personal Stories: From the everyday hustle to significant milestones, these vignettes offer a heartfelt glimpse into life before the digital age.

• Vivid Illustrations: Beautifully detailed drawings by Syed Ismail bring these memories to life, making history accessible for both young and old readers.

Perfect for older generations looking to reminisce and younger readers eager to discover the heritage of their parents and grandparents, this book is more than a history lesson—it’s a celebration of the Singaporean spirit.
