Listen "Dawn Tam"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Payal speaks with Dawn Tam, who grew up in Singapore during the transformative decades from the 1960s onward. Through her recollections, Dawn offers a vivid glimpse into life in Loyang, once a seaside fishing village before land reclamation reshaped the landscape. She shares personal and historical memories from her birth in the Year of the Tiger to witnessing her community’s relocation after a fire. Dawn also reminisces about the vibrant entertainment hubs of her youth , Happy World, New World, and Great World , spaces that defined leisure and joy in old Singapore. Her stories beautifully capture the essence of a changing nation, where nostalgia, resilience, and memory intertwine across six decades of transformation.[Lumina Vitae,Light of Life,Melting Pot Series, Podcast,The Bloom Fund,Stories of Singapore,Heritage ReimaginedCommunity Through Art,Singapore Stories]#LuminaVitae #MeltingPotSeries #TheBloomFund #SingaporeStories #CommunityArt #TheBloomFund #SingaporeHeritage #AIMeetsMemory #IntergenerationalStories #NHB Hosted on Acast.
