Fate can be strange. I first stayed at the Ocean Park Hotel in 1968, prior to moving to Rumbai/Duri/Kotapinang etc. and places beyond.
Went back to Singapore in 1992 to work and found a house in Dunbar Walk, immediately opposite Ocean Park, in 1968 it was right on the coast, now four high rise blocks of flats, but the bowling ally still survived until about 2002. St Patrick's school still there too but now both school and Ocean Park are about one mile from the coast!
Sorry, don't mean to be irreverent to Mr. Leong Wai Hoe, God rest his soul.
In my day it was all handled by an agent, (name escapes me), very adjacent to Clifford Pier.
