I only remember that we have to put a monthly label in front of the windscreen (around S$60 per month) when we enter CBD.      Policeman stationed at the a location to spot check.

 

 

Wah, busy the last few days, now then see this thread...

 

Those days it was called the Restricted Zone (RZ).

 

Outside the RZs, about 200 m away, there will be a booth selling the RZ labels for that day. Need to pay a fee if your car didn't have 4 pax in it. Got many people will be around there to help to make up the numbers to enter the RZ. The lady TPs (or just police) will be after the RZ line to check and note down numbers of cars without the label and dun have 4 pax...

Before ERP parking at carparks, there were

 

those semi-auto ones that need to insert cash card into readers at exit.

 

Before that, got coupon parking (now still have).

 

And before that, all the HDB/URA carparks got a booth near the entrance, and got auntie there collect carpark $$ one. Created employment...

 

How many drivers here remember that?

Those days, i was only a kid sitting in my father's car/van. Haven't gotten my license yet...

I still remember another old brand called KILROY and another clothing brand called SELECO jeans ... in fact they were my very first pair of jeans that my parents could afford for me ...... must have cost about $20++ but they lasted me at least 10-15 years

 

Choice for me was between SELECO and YANE back then in the 70's, Levis was out of reach for sure, even Wrangler, LEE and LEA was also expensive

 

 

somehow remember this one too...... was this the one near around Kalang Bahru and later was this one name changed to NTUC?? kind of wondering

Yes, later changed to NTUC.

 

Kilroy also can remember, now you mentioned it.

There was a time corduroy jeans were popular. Now no one wears them. But Yane wasn't cheap, remember Yane Gold? Gold plated label, instead of leather , sewn to the back of the jeans.

In fact NTUC old logo had the same similar gear like thingy initially and when they first opened in Marine Parade (opposite site of current one) I used to just look see look see  at the Hi-Fi systems by a local company called Soundesign... cheaper compared to the more renowed Marantz Grundig, Harman Kardon, Macintosh -  but still could not afford it [bigcry]  (the singapore one)  

 

Yeap there was the fashion of having metals labels  , also some had kind of zig/zag like embossed stitching logo on the back pockets too; Yane (depending on model) was sold by fathers friend but it was still more expensive than the cheaper brands... and bell bottoms was the kind of rage too.....  I guess he wanted to do his own branding to stand out though it was a 100% local company; I remember they used to have the factory behind the Cisco Building in Paya Lebar. HeShe also tried but not too sucessful

There was a Chinese shop selling Raybans and thats where i got my 1st Rayban sunnies back in the 80s. That time mat rocks wear Raybans 2 hide their redden eyes that was a telltale sign of smoking marijuana....
