  Does anyone have those 80s-90s pictures of Singapore scenarios like Orchard road or something.

  Orchard road is the same since 1995.
  
  Let me see what's new - Harbourfront is new. NEL line is new. That's all/
  
  The rest of present singapore u seeing now already cropped by the late 90s.
  
  Senkang and punggol also first opened in 1997 i think.

  If u are looking for Old time singapore in the 80s. Then go to Hougang and Ang Mo Kio or Bedok. These places have remained mostyl unchanged
  
  If 90s , go to the estates which came up after 1990 like CCK, The New Tampines
