À propos de cet audio

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. LTC (Retd) Mejar Singh Gill talks to me about growing up in the Singapore Naval Base in the ‘50s and ‘60s where the Sikhs were prominent in the naval police and armed forces. He explains why he wrote the book, Singapore’s ‘Northern Sikhs'’ and their Gurdwaras, and the important role Sikh temples play in the spiritual and social life of the community.
