It's located in Lagoon View Block5000L! I live in the next block (Block 5000M). I still have childhood memories of watching the light flash every 5min from my balcony window. It is a pretty unusual location for a lighthouse!
I had thought it was a guiding light or signals for pilots, however upon searching, it's a lighthouse used long before land reclamation happened. Look it up the Internet and there are more details. :) Interesting find nevertheless.
How unusual. Is it near the coast?
ReplyDeleteI am almost sure it is in Laguna Park, having lived near there around 1982. Now living in UK so not visited the area for many years.
ReplyDeleteyes, that's Laguna Park at the end of Marine Parade Road, just bordering Bedok
ReplyDeleteMarley,
ReplyDeleteYes it is. Really near. ;-)
Anon,

ReplyDeleteHi Anon
ReplyDeleteWould it be very bright? ;-)
It is the .... BEDOK NDB.
ReplyDeleteTo help people like me (ie: pilots) to land their planes in WSSS (ie: Changi Airpot) or en route to Indonesia & beyond
Ah... so it's being used by pilots!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
