Discover Singapore Legal History, with eastcoastlife - WW

Photos taken in the old Supreme Court building are deleted because Singapore Land Authority has informed me that they are strictly for personal use only and not to be circulated in any form or for any commercial purposes.

Crowds gathered outside Supreme Court to catch a glimpse of eastcoastlife

What's going on!?

It's a multi-dimensional exhibition held in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Singapore Academy of Law. From 4th July to 1st August 2008, visitors are given a rare opportunity to explore the old Supreme Court.

Take a walk through legal history on a guided tour to the old Supreme Court. Visitors will be able to walk through various facilities which have never been opened to the public before, including the prison cells, the Chief Justice’s private chambers and court rooms. It will also be the last time the public will be able to view these premises before the building is closed for renovations and converted to other use. sigh.....

At the atrium of the new Supreme Court, get an insight into the development of our legal system and its personalities through interesting facts, photos and rare artefacts and court documents, (some of which date back to the 19th century). Learn about some of the most dramatic trials that took place within the high court....

A policeman dressed up in the uniform of the past. Cool!

For the first time, the lock-up is opened for public viewing.

Orderly Dominic will show you round the private Chambers of the Chief of Justice.

As you can see, I enjoyed myself, as always. hehehe...... I took the tour twice (free mah) and the docents recognise this siao zhar bo (wacky woman). I made the tour fun and interesting, of course the docents were forced need to co-operate..... Most importantly, I gain valuable knowledge from this program. Read next post. :)

Special thanks to Singapore Academy of Law (Happy 20th Anniversary!!) and the helpful docents. ^-^

法律遗产：新加坡的法律故事

怎么回事! ？他们在看什么？

为庆祝新加坡法律学会20周年纪念，从7月4日到2008年8月1日，公众将有一个前所未有， 难能可贵的机会探索我们的旧最高法院大厦。

在两小时的英语导览中，我被引领经过地下通道，及参观同样是首次曝光的拘留室和大法官的内堂。允许公众游览囚犯所使用的地下通道、拘留室和大法官的内堂是史无前例的。因为该大厦即将动工翻新，转为国家艺术馆，所以这也是公众参观上述“法庭重地”的唯一机会。叹气.....

除了导览外，法律学会也会在目前的最高法院大厦举办展览，通过多样的珍贵文物，引领公众走入时光隧道，让他们对本地法律史 有更深入的了解。

展览的内容主要分为：法律里程碑、法院与传统、法律人才（包括本地六家历史最悠久的律师事务所的背景）、法律工具 （展示最古老的法律报告等）和轰动案件。

我非常享受这趟导览，当然我一如既往的好玩性格，在法庭重地扮演囚犯，使得旁观者啼笑皆非。 嘻嘻嘻 ...... 我参加了两次导览(免费嘛)，值班人员已经认得出我这疯女人。 我感谢导览员们的配合和允许，使我留下有趣和珍贵的照片。最重要的，我从这个活动获取的宝贵知识和经验，将使我有一个难忘而美丽的回忆。

非常感谢新加坡法律学会 (快乐第20周年纪念日！！) 和所有的值班人员。 ^-^
