Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Maria Yap remembers unforgettable places in Old Changi Village like the cinema, the beach, the creek, and the sea. The village diminished when the British forces left and her family moved to Chai Chee Estate. But Maria and her husband still visit Changi Village today for its unique charm.
