I remember from visiting my grandparents in the 1960s there was one cold store in the town. I believe that my grandfather (a doctor) kept some things there, like insulin. I never heard of anyone having a fridge of their own, which is the kind of thing that would have been told to a kid. I only remember going there for ice cream which was made in a bicycle inner tube. They cut the tube into segments; the ice cream tasted of rubber of course. In the 70s there was a huge wave of modernization in SE Asia and suddenly people had scooters and cars, girls had miniskirts, and A/C appeared in saree shops at least. I don’t remember if my GPs ever bought a fridge or not, though.
