Maybe this post should be titled: "What is old in Singapore?".
Yesterday, I have read on the newspapers that the former Ford Motor Factory will be opened to the public from 20 Feb 2006. There will be a World War II Exhibition Gallery on the Japanese Occupation of Singapore (1942-1945).
The former Ford Motor Factory was the historic site where the British surrendered to the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. It was built in 1941. As such, won't it be deemed as an old site?
Its exact location is: 351 Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 588192.

It is probably ideal reading for the adventure-seeking readers?

SA: Come to Singapore then? Admission is free for the first year of this site.
Or else, keep your fingers crossed that photography is allowed so that I can help you gain a view of this place if I were to visit it.
Simple American, if you're going, I'm going and I'll buy dinner.

SA and Kunstemaecker, will both of you be visiting Singapore soon?
