Another monument to the scrapyard

Our National Stadium has stood 34yrs & has closed its doors on 30 June 2007. In its place will be a state-of-the art Sports Hub. Part of the reconstruction plans also include a Watersports Centre taking the place of the Oasis.
I can't help but feel a sad sense of nostalgia whenever buildings with heritage value give way to the breakers. As our country progresses, more & more monuments have & will join the National Stadium. The cost of progress?
Here are some pic from the tour of the national stadium taken of places usually out-of-bounds. Enjoy them, as they'll soon be memories.
The grand dame of stadiums. Farwell.


A map of Yan Kit Swimming Pool, long closed due to refurbrishment expenses. Somewhere where I used to learn swimming.

Staduim turnstils, they will be gone soon.
