The Fullerton Hotel hailed as Singapore’s newest National Monument

It's one of three sites gazetted for SG50.

The iconic Fullerton Hotel has been gazetted as Singapore’s 71st National Monument, the National Heritage Board (NHB) said in a statement.

This concludes a series of gazettes in celebration of Singapore’s Golden Jubilee.

““The former Fullerton Building is one of the most iconic colonial buildings in Singapore, standing at the mouth of the Singapore River and defining the Singapore skyline since the 1920s. Beyond its grand façade and beautiful architecture, it is filled with many priceless memories of our nation’s growth throughout the years – from the former General Post Office to government offices, it has served multiple functions that mark the tumultuous times we have lived through, and the steps taken to build our country,” said Jean Wee, Director of the Preservation of Sites and Monuments (PSM) division, NHB.

The gazette of the former Fullerton Building joins the Jurong Town Hall and the Istana Kampong Gelamas NHB’s list of gazetted National Monuments in 2015.

When a building is gazetted under the Preservation of Monuments Act, it is preserved with the highest form of recognition for its national significance. The evaluation of potential gazettes is based on a building or site’s historical, architectural and social importance in Singapore’s built heritage landscape.
