“And there was Percival in the car. I recognised him ... I said, I don’t think you place is very safe ... You hear the whizzing over ... He went in and I didn’t realise he was burning his papers. And there I was holding, looking after him, sort of, until he finished what he had to do and went off. He wished me goodbye and went back to Singapore” - Herman Marie De Souza recounting the scene at Flagstaff House on 14 Feb 1942 #oldplaces #forgottenstories #storiesofwar #singapore #slastateproperty #nationalmonument #sgmemory https://www.instagram.com/p/CMTTgBanLRf/?igshid=3ulr6gfh4154

Uncommon or common? Colonial residences may have been categorised as “black and white houses”. This however is more a reference to their current appearance rather than a particular style. Not all have worn the white look with black trimmings thru their history and certainly not all have the same features or styles #oldplaces #historicalbuildings #slastateproperty #architecture #sgarchitecture #sgmemory #uncommongroundSG (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ2TJnOHahQ/?igshid=es851m864m3v
