My first documents are probably my Birth Certificates. Maybe people during our time we have 2 copies of such Birth Certificates.
The first copy of Birth Certificate which termed the Duplicate copy is on a poorer quality paper and of red print. This was probably issued within 1 to 2 weeks from birth.
Front Side : You may see at that time, it’s called State of Singapore instead of Republic of Singapore. Also my parents’ Nationality are British Subject though they are also born in Singapore.
Rear Side : The rear side is the Vaccination Notice.
4 years later, I was issued with the Original Birth Certificate (1966). It’s still known as State of Singapore. Not much difference from the current Birth Certificate, at least from one glance at the front.
Rear Side : See the various stamps from Primary School and KK Hospital.
Times of My Life 
Funny, I have 2 duplicate copies. I kept the original and donated the 2 copies to NLB recently.
How come your WordPress so kilat one. Automatically have my name, email and website address. I don’t recall registering wat.
Thanks for dropping by Chun See. I’m pretty new to blogging though I finally decided to use WordPress instead of Blogspot. Think the name and your particulars only appear to you as you surf even though you didn’t register.
For the Birth Certificate, guess my dad only gave me 1 duplicate copy and 1 main original one.
Hi laokokok, and welcome to the blogosphere. Glad to see that you’re sharing your stories and photos.
Chun See: I think wordpress.com keeps a cookie that remembers your info so that you don’t need to re-enter it every time you visit a wordpress.com blog.
Hi Acroamatic, I love your Deadpoet’s Cave blog too.
Just wanted to say that I read your blog quite frequently and I’m always amazed at some of the stuff people post here. But keep up the good work, it’s always interesting.
See ya,
Just wanted to know (from anyone that sees this) if one’s parents are British Subjects, are they still technically British Subjects now living in Singapore with a red passport that says “Singaporean” on the inside? Was there a ‘vote’ or something during in the 1960s if they wanted to be Singaporean or did all British Subjects born in Singapore automatically become Singaporean against their will during independence?
