NTU launches memoir for its 90-year-old medical school

Posted on by

To celebrate the restoration of its medical school's headquarters, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) will be launching a book that chronicles its history that spans some 90 years.

The coffee table book, titled '11 Mandalay Road' after the building's location, tells the tale of how the structure came into being as the medical school we know today.

Personal stories from former occupants and rare photos aid the reader along the medical school's history, which started off as a hostel for medical students.

The memoir also covers the aerial bombings by the Japanese during World War II, in which numerous students at the hostel were killed.

Many hopeful medical students have passed through its doors, including one Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, who contributed an anecdote to the book.

The building was abandoned in the 1990s until 2010 when it was chosen as the site for NTU's new medical school. Restoration began in 2012 and completed in June 2013.

The book will not be available for sale. Instead, interested readers can find copies at the National Library and NTU's libraries.

History of former medical hostel at Mandalay Road documented in new book

Posted on by

SINGAPORE: The rich history of the former medical hostel at 11 Mandalay Road has been documented in a book.

The building, which boasts of Palladian-style architecture, now stands as the headquarters of the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine - a joint medical school by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Imperial College London.

At the book launch on Monday (Dec 15), NTU President Professor Bertil Andersson said the commemorative book aims to provide a fitting tribute to Singapore's heritage and history.

Prof Andersson added: "This house is not so well-known in Singapore but it's the same calibre as the Istana, the Raffles Hotel; it has the same type of architecture. It housed many of the senior doctors and nurses in Singapore.

"This is where the people who studied healthcare - doctors or nurses - lived until the end of the 1990s. I think that is part of the important history in the healthcare of Singapore and, as I said, this now becomes the new headquarters for the new medical school. I think it is very symbolic. This book is a good present to Singapore for its upcoming 50 years."

The book details the building's transformation through the past 90 years, as told by the personal stories of its former occupants. It also features about 100 photographs, including rare photographs from the late 1940sdepicting students at the hostel.

Mdm Wong Mee Yee, a former hostel resident, said: "I was a home staff here, looking after the nurses, and I stayed here for a couple of years. I was very happy and I had a big family and we celebrated each other's birthday in the hostel."

The building was first constructed in 1924 as the Straits Settlements Mandalay Road Hostel for senior medical students. Apart from a brief hiatus during a World War 2, the hostel was used by medical students for three decades, becoming part of the University of Malaya during the latter years.

The building - adjacent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital in the Moulmein area - was left vacant for 11 years, before it was selected as a site for NTU's new medical school in 2010. Restoration works began in 2012.

David Koch: Im basically a libertarian

Posted on by

In an exclusive interview clip aired Sunday morning on ABCs "This Week," reclusive billionaire and campaign mega-donor David Koch said he cares much more about fiscal issues and the economy than about social issues on which he described himself as a social liberal.

Koch, who along with his brother Charles donates millions of dollars each year to the political campaigns of conservatives and political action committees, rarely grants interviews and spoke with ABCs Barbara Walters as part of a year-long special that will air Sunday night.

Im basically a libertarian, and Im a conservative on economic matters, and Im a social liberal, Koch said, who acknowledged that his beliefs about same-sex marriage and abortion conflict with the conservative beliefs held by many of the candidates propped up by the checks cut by him and his brother. Thats their problem. I do have those views. What I want these candidates to do is to support a balanced budget. Im very worried that if the budget is not balanced that inflation could occur and the economy of our country could suffer terribly.
