The school that was a courthouse

Posted by noelbynature

An interesting – if forgotten – piece of history is remembered in Part 8 of the Bukit Timah Heritage Trail. There was a school that was the setting for a dramatic political court case during the 1960s. Do you know what the case was?


It is unthinkable that Singapore’s courthouses can be located in a residential estate; among landed bungalows and kampungs. We all know the Supreme Court and Subordinate Courts are in the heart of town at St Andrews Road and Havelock Road respectively. Wait until you ask the question: Which Singapore school was turned into a courthouse? You will be stumped for an answer.

Stumped? Find out more on the Bukit Timah Heritage Trail, Part 8!
