SINGAPORE – When Mrs Laurie Rands first came to live in Singapore in 1971 with her serviceman husband Frank, she was 18 years old, newly married and did not know anyone on this tropical island.
Even after Mrs Rands, now 70, returned to New Zealand in 1973, she and Mrs Wong kept in touch for years through letters. Mrs Wong’s daughters wrote the letters on behalf of their mother who was illiterate. About a year after she came to Singapore, Mrs Rands gave birth to a baby girl and Mrs Wong helped her learn the ropes of motherhood.
Mrs Wong lived in a kampung in Serangoon before moving to a flat in Toa Payoh sometime in 1972, according to Mrs Rands.
