1960s. My family spend 12 years of our childhood in Pulau Bukom when my late father was working as an Auxiliary Police Officer at the island. I remember that I had to take ferry ride every morning at around 6 am to go to school at Pasir Panjang, but my friends and I were very happy living on the idyllic island.
