where is it located? which part of Orchard?

i tink this building is no longer around...it has been demolished recently. Anyway from wad i hear, during the Japanese occupation, the kempatai (secret police) used to hang heads of people there. Its kind of like "punish 1 to warn a 100" tactic. And the headquater for the japanese occupation of the South-East Asia is located at none other than the building opposite cathay, which is the now YMCA or YWCA...

Cathay Cinema is now cordoned off to the public and is halfway in the process of being demolished to make way for a redeveloped version of the old cinema.
Efforts to petition is preservence has been futile.
The building has a long history dating all the way back before the war, all the way to the early 1930's or so.
Cathay Building, Cathay Hotel and Cathay Cinema are all part of one whole big estate. Cathay Building, (located behind Plaza Singapura) was the tallest building and most luxurious to be built in S.E. Asia during the time. Standing at 17 storeys at the side of a hill and fully airconditioned, it was once a hotel and then turned into an office before being turned into an apartment for expatriates.
The Urban Infiltrators (ie. my clan of explorers far more superior than any other hehehehe j/k) has explored the area. Cathay Cinema, or half of it rather, is still standing, the other half has been hacked off. The whole area behind the cinema is in ruins and it is almost impossible to infiltrate the area because of tight security.
U.I. has managed to capture images of Cathay Building, explored the building and also encountered a couple of, should I say, interesting though frightening experiences there that shall not be revealed due to our tight security on our infomation and whereabouts and activities.
There is something about the building that is not right.
There has been several sightings as well.
Efforts to access the rooftop is not yet successful but we will try.
More infomation about the U.I. will be posted up this forum in due time.
I enjoy your company and I am grateful for the existence of the Urban Explorers (Singapore) and this forum. -
