Old Singapore - in the 60's & 70's

Gurmit Singh

Copyright www.mediacorptv.com

Singapore's very own celebrity, Gurmit Singh is a beloved personality to people from all walks of life. His versatility and multi-faceted talents as a comedian, host, singer, actor makes him a hit with the audience wherever he goes.

Helming the award-winning sitcom PCK Pte Ltd as Phua Chu Kang, Gurmit has penetrated the public's consciousness and created a MediaCorp icon recognised by all. His talents were vindicated when he and PCK Pte Ltd won numerous awards at the Asian Television Awards; and himself honoured as the reigning Comedy King after winning the coveted Best Comedy Actor for five years (1998-2001 & 2003).

As some people may know, Gurmit Singh, is actually an ex-NPCC member. He was also the Best Cadet Inspector from the batch of 29 May 1982 Cadet Inspectors' Training Course. (See pictures below).

29 May 1982 Batch Cadet Inspectors' Training Course held in the old Police Academy, Thomson Road.

Group 2 of 29 May 1982 Batch Cadet Inspectors. Since there was only one Singh in the whole course, you will be able to find where is Gurmit in this picture.
