Situated along Eu Tong Sen Street are a cluster of old blue buildings surrounded by fence. Built some 30 to 40 years ago, this is where the Singapore Police Force’s (SPF) former Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters were situated.
After their new headquarters were established at the nearby Cantonment Road, CID shifted away from here and it was handed over to the Police Licensing Division. The Licensing Division, too, has moved to Cantonment Road shortly after and this site has been left vacant since 1996.
In the five-storey main building, the first level was perhaps the most famous with its 13 cell rooms that had countless of hardcore criminals locked up during interrogations. Throughout the years, there are persisting rumours that the cell rooms are haunted due to past suicides of the criminals.
It was also reported that in 1990, a police officer shot himself inside the toilet on the third floor.
Today, the first level of the main block of the former headquarters, which are owned by Singapore Land Authority (SLA), is opened to the public and immediately attracts interest from various organisations. Some are keen to hold events like Halloween parties, while others intend to organise exploring trips in this forgotten place of more than one decade.
SPI( Singapore Paranormal investigators) was proud to be one of the organizer in 2011. We were invited to do our investigation in the infamous 13 cells and one of the toilet that the police officer shot himself.
