In 2003 the ACM opened its second venue at the Empress Building which was completed in 1867, the neoclassical style building along the Singapore River was used for over 100 years to house then colonial and later Singapore Government Office of the Singapore Immigration Department that is where I first obtain my blue Malaysian Passport there.
