Yes...most definitely. I told the China reception girl that I'd like to use the bar and was there to take pics. No problem

@hya, maybe, if so, it would be like how the Eng Cheong Towers was demolished and became Southbank.

@redstone, I dont think urban design guidelines were as detailed as they are now. Back then, I seem to get the impression that the emphasis was on intensive modernisation. I think times have changed.
