answer: the tanglin post office
according to the 1969 guide and street directory, it would seem that the original tanglin post office - which occupied a 2-storey colonial building - was on the other side of the road, where tudor court is today. in its vicinity were a malay school and a mosque.
question: the service that was provided at this address (56 tanglin road), is it still available at the same address?
answer: yes.
postal services are still available at the tanglin post office which has been relegated to a small corner of the building.
across the road - there used to be a tanglin circus - where these blocks of modern apartments now stand there was a hotel. the hotel was known by one name when it first started, later it changed its name.
question: what were the two names?
answer: hotel malaysia and marco polo hotel.
