"Two true blue and well known Singaporean personalities and 60s pop music.
As an ardent fan of our national football team during the heydays of the Malaysia Cup tournament, I attended every match played at our National stadium. Our then Singapore national team comprising stalwarts like Dollah Kassim, Mohd Nor, S. Rajagopal and Samad Alapitchay to name a few, and Quah Kim Song's dribbling skills and speed on the pitch were a delight to watch. Song played from 1969 to 1979 for the team.

The upcoming marriage between Quah Kim Song and Sylvia Lim made the news recently. It was reported that Kim Song caught the attention of Sylvia when he sang a 60s pop song during a fundraising event organized by the Workers Party some 12 years back. And as reported in an 2015 interview with The New Paper, Quah sang, Don't Play That Song [You Lied], that won Sylvia's attention and thereafter, her heart."

Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteI’m still at the Uni. and working away. Still collecting as well, nearly all via e-bay these days. Me and Mrs. are still both relatively fit, but age spares nobody!
Keep going with your blog, I look at it regularly.
Regards
Steve
This is an unexpected union of two people with different backgrounds that nobody can foresee and when it happen it could only be a marriage made in heaven
ReplyDeleteHi Andy ! Thanks a million for featuring the coming wedding of 2 very famous personalities - legendary to many. I used to live at GUILLEMARD RD Facing the OLD KALLANG AIRORT. We had a fantastic view of the GUILLEMARD Circus with a gigantic fountain in the middle. It takes me just 10 minutes to walk across the road to enjoy many football matches at the NATIONAL STADIUM. Lots of fond memories watching QUAH KIM SONG and his team winning so many matches to do Singaporeans proud. In later years we were entertained by both Slyvia LIM and Kim Song entertaining many of us with their crooning ! Let's watch them sing and cut a record to celebrate their happiness on the big day !
