Bedok Corner is well known for the landmark hawker centre (refurbished a few months ago), but what about the other landmarks in this area? Peter Chan goes ‘back home’ to give us a virtual tour in this little corner of Bedok on Good Morning Yeesterday.

Bedok Corner is where Bedok Road meets Upper East Coast Road. It has some bits of history besides the well-known Bedok Hawker center, going back to as early as the 1970s. It was home to the first National Service battalions – 3SIR and 4SIR. 3SIR and 4SIR were raised in Taman Jurong Camp but moved to the Bedok location in 1969. During the Vietnam War, US war surplus were stored in Nissen Huts on the reclaimed land which is now the Upper East Coast Road Bus Terminus. There was strict security and triple concertina wire fence surrounded the buildings.
