Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 16 Oct 2005 07:29 PDT

pf-ga,

It seems that just about everything you asked for is available in this
online encylopedia entry for Singapore:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore


Even an old photo from 1970 is included, although perhaps not quite
the direct old/new comparison you are looking for.

Can you look over the article, and then let me know what additional
information you would need to make for a complete answer to your
question.

Thanks,

pafalafa-ga
