Only young enough to remember #1 - it was an old Singapore Post office, if I remember correctly?... the old police HQ or something is on the left.
1st - Tanglin Post Office
2nd photo - Marco Polo Hotel but before that was Hotel Malaysia.
3rd photo - Rasa Singapore was the hawker center behind the Tudor Court
hi passerby, the tanglin police divisional hq was between the post office and the gleneagles hospital.
alamak! next time, need to check to make sure the quiz questions have not been asked before. peter sure know the answers because he used to perform at the hotel. victor also got 3 out of 4; however, malaysia hotel should be hotel malaysia.
That stretch of Tanglin Road used to have a SHELL petrol station. FIAT Sharikat Bhd (owned by the late Khoo teck Puat family), GINO's A-Go-Go, the first Italian disco cum restaurant in Singapore, Hack's cough Singapore distributor (forgot the Arab name).
