SHUTTERS FOR PHOTO SHOP WITH WWII LINKS
Yes, from exerps from The New Paper dated 15 February 2007..............................
Let me introduce Mr George Chang, of George Photo. To-date, George Photo (Blk 1, #01-2000) is one of the pioneer resident who has been residing in Changi Village for the past 50 years.
If you had read about George in the new paper? His photoshop is in a very prominent location in Changi Village. He is self-styled custodian of Changi history..................ask George from his good old days to the renowned Europa.........he'll bring the good memories back to you........
Scattered around his shop, taped to the glass cabinets, are some of the 300 or so black-and-white phtographs he has of old Changi. Therefore, if you are keen to know more, do drop by George Photo to catch a good glimpse of the past before it is too late. George is giving up his trade and you can get a good bargain from cameras, radio and many other stuffs!!!!
Back to George, his shop is an icon of Changi Village. It also figures in a significant footnote to wartime history. It was a hangout for soldiers from the nearby British camps.
As quoted from George: "YOU CANNOT END YOUR BUSINESS ON A SAD NOTE. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE WITH DIGNITY. AND YOU NEED GUTS TO DO THAT."
Good luck and all the best to you, Uncle George!
Next, I'll introduce to you guys the friendly faces of Changi V, so if you do drop by, do say "Hello" to us, won't ya????
