It was 1970s Singapore. Every Sunday, the Ang family went on outings to different places, and Haw Par Villa, the theme park in Pasir Panjang, with its terrifying depictions of hell, was a family favourite. “There were colourful statues with dioramas like the 10 Courts of Hell that parents took naughty boys to see as a reminder of the consequences of misbehaving,” says the eldest brother, Mr Jimmy Ang, now 63.
