Looks big! :eek:

Such places have such a relaxed, almost country like feel to them

So countryside, village-like feel...
Like Seletar Camp, less the airport...

yes, reminds me of Seletar Camp, and also BCTC camp

they should use it as a backpacker's inn or something instead of tearing it down -_-

BCTC? :?

The area where OneNorth would be is also very village like...

Basic Combat Training Centre - at Pasir Laba Camp

One North isnt village-like? its more like just a jungle isnt?

The place is very unaccessible, with only 1 non air-con bus serving the road.

Used to be a few camps and a prison in the area.....
