I kinda looked thru the register when the class was going on. I am the 2nd oldest serving member of my class.The oldest female in the class.
And is like the only female that remembers the 'ang chia'. Only 2 other guy from the class remembers the 'ang chias', not counting the lecturers and course co-ordinators.
Its depressing when we have about 4 really pretty young thing sitting at the back of the class and they are nearly 10 or more years our juniors. Including age and experiences.

I know there were the Jalan Bahar, Queenstown and Mount Vernon Police Task Force Units back in the 80s. Is there any more of the ang chia units left?

Civil servants pay now is still pathetic. And there is huge disparity among the senior grade fellas and junior grade fellas. -

You can only get washboard, built into a bowl at Daiso nowadays.But seriously.....with washing machines.....those footstools and washboard bowls thingy is like novelty items.
I had them. But left them brand new at last rental place liao. Really a hassle to move around with them when I am a nomad nowadays.
