My Memory of Old RI (by Jerry Lee)

My Memory of Old RI (Jerry Lee)

Contributed by Jerry

The site of the present Raffles City is the old Raffles Institution. I spent its last year there before it was relocated to Grange Road. During a NCC Camp in the school, my friends and I dug up buttons of soldiers and war artifacts from the ground, They say the place is haunted because students who slept in the gymnasium found themselves in the school field the next morning. In the evenings, you will hear the marching sound of soldiers with boots. It was indeed a very historic place before it was demolished in 1973
