As some will probably know, but some won't it (the NAAFI building) is still there, in v good condition (think it was recently refurbished ), though dwarfed by hotels now and a long way from any beach.
That's astonishing. I've been to Singapore dozens of times and never noticed the NAAFI building. I'm guessing you stare at it from the Swissotel Stamford?
