A couple moving into their new Housing Board flat in Tanjong Rhu in 1963. The HDB was set up in 1960 to solve Singapore's housing crisis.

Back then, many were living in unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements. Within three years, the Housing Board built 21,000 flats.

Today, more than 80 per cent of the population live in HDB flats.

Do you have memories of moving into an HDB flat? What was it like adjusting to your new apartment? Do you remember your neighbours and neighbourhood? Share your photographs and stories with us.
