Task 5: Colonial Building #1

1.       Fullerton hotel
Before the British gave in to Japan , Fullerton hotel was used as a hospital for injured British soldiers. During WWII. Governor Sir Shenton Thomas and Lady Thomas had sought refuge in the sleeping quarters of the Singapore Club. This building was also where General Percival and Sir Shenton discussed the likelihood of Singapore becoming a property of Japan.  Later, Fullerton Building became the head office of the Japanese Military Administration in Singapore.
