The year was 1909 when it was first erected and right up till this very day, the firefighters in Central Fire Station have been keeping themselves busy so that you can sleep peacefully at night. Kudos to my seniors; the forefathers whom have set the standards sky high for us, the younger generation to live up to.
It was such a grand affair; the food was great, the video presentation was very insightful (i saw the firefighters from the fire service era in action) and there were a lot of VIPs that were invited. We, the station residents almost got lost in the wave of these VIPs. They had a live feed shot from the Excelsior and the Grand Plaza Park Royal Hotel of the facade of the station. When it was time to mark the start of the celebration, the guest of honour, Minister of Law, Mr K Shanmugam was given the honour of "lighting up" the entire station. The building almost look like a Christmas tree. But it was nice. But the Cordon Bleu Chicken was nicer... ;p
PS: Central FS was actually bombed during the 2nd World War. Not once, not twice, but thrice. But being the kepala batu* that we firefighters naturally are, we're still standing. Beat that!
*Malay for stubborn.
