This image displays a red information panel about the "SINGAPORE CONFERENCE HALL AND TRADE UNION HOUSE," set against a colorful, mosaic-patterned wall. The panel features white text, an architectural drawing, and two black-and-white photographs. At the top, an architectural sketch or blueprint of the Singapore Conference Hall is depicted. Below this, a quote from Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, dated 15 October 1965, expresses pride in the building's capacity, fittings, and performance, despite some components being of foreign design. The text further details the building's history: - Opened on 15th October 1965 by Lee Kuan Yew, it housed the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) headquarters and hosted various events. - In 2001, after renovations, Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officiated its new function as premises for the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. - It was awarded National Monument Status by the Preservation of Monuments Board on 26 December 2010. - In 2017, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra undertook acoustic system improvements, enhancing its status as a musical performance venue. Two historical black-and-white photographs are on the right side of the panel. The upper photo shows a large indoor event with many people seated in rows, a stage, and a banner displaying "NTUC" in English and Chinese characters. The lower photo depicts three men, one of whom appears to be Lee Kuan Yew, examining a model or architectural plans. The background wall features a complex geometric pattern in shades of orange, red, brown, and white.
