The smorgasboard of religions in Singapore. A buddhist association building stands beside the Church of Christ at right. To the right beyond is the Sri Sathya Society.
The Passengers spent part of their Sunday afternoon photographing a few local landmarks along Moulmein Road, one of the main thoroughfares in our neighborhood. Above and below are images of the Kuang Chee Tng Buddhist Association.

The building below stands on the opposite side of Moulmein Road. It has a high fence around it as part of Singapore's Communicable Disease Centre, located on the campus of Tang Tok Seng Hospital. This historic turreted house hosts the Tuberculosis Control Unit and outpatient clinic. Notice the blue pilasters and ornamental plasterwork, architectural features imported during the colonial years. Numerous buildings around here in the Balestier Road area have similar decoration with several outstanding examples on shophouses.

Singapore's Tuberculosis Control Unit. The building behind, just visible at left, houses an x-ray unit.
The bluff facade of Tang Tock Seng hospital looms over the historic house of the TCU.

Um, excuse me, but how come I didn't get an invitation to the Tuberculosis castle? I feel a little ripped off here. I refuse to get any more folksy diseases unless I get to go stay in some toy architecture about it.
