I was at the Singapore General Hospital, visiting my sick father-in-law ( who had sadly passed away due to lung cancer a few days ago ) and saw this building smack right in the middle of the vinicity. I was particularly attracted to the eagle sculpture as it looks pretty like those seen on top of Nazis flag poles during WWII. By the way, this building now belongs to the Ministry of Health. You can see from the columns that this building is definitely colonial times. I tried to go in and explore the place but was stopped by the security guard.

This sculpture depicts a ring of hope at the bottom which eventually transform into a bird that flew off...guess it means freedom when one dies???

This bronze sculpture shows a heart, a rather complicated heart, with twirls and curls.
