Once the tallest skyscraper in all of Southeast Asia—so tall, pilots landing at Kallang Airport some miles away used it as a marker—Cathay Building is familiar with firsts. Home to a flourishing Asian film scene, it was the first cinema to screen American and British movies. It was also popular for its air-conditioned theater, the first of its kind and a technological wonder in tropical Singapore.

DETAILS

A red light beckoning seafarers in the dark. To some, it meant hope, for it announced the landing point for immigrants in search of better prospects. To others, it served as a beacon, guiding mariners returning from commercial ventures. This eponymous lamp gave the pier its local name, Hong Deng Ma Tou (红灯码头) or the Red Lamp Pier. Immigrants and sailors soon became day-trippers and pilgrims as, years later, travellers launched off for the Southern Islands here.
