  2 or 3 months year end bonuses. Some good companies especially the Banks or Shipping companies would offer their employees up to 6 months year end bonuses.

  In the 70s and 80s, you could see many U.S. Navy servicemen in their white uniforms or Biege uniforms or the U.S. Navy MPs walking in Orchard Road when their ship docked in Singapore. Tropicana pub and bar at Holiday Inn was their favourite place.

  Many students studied and revised their school works at Singapore Changi International Airport....until the tourists were so puzzled why was it so.

  In the late 80s more and more Singaporeans started to tune in to the ZOO 101.6FM radio station in Batam because they played continuous music of latest English and Indonesian songs. That caused the battle of airwaves in Singapore. Singapore started to open new airwave stations and upgraded their songs playlist for longer broadcasting hours to win Singapore listeners again. I think if without the presence of that radio station in Batam and competition back then, most of the radio channels and programmes in Singapore would not have upgraded their programmes with continuous music 24 hours a day 7 days a week haha.
