Five Horse Road (Bencoolen Street)

Sunshine Plaza
Standing at 81, Bencoolen street and the opposite of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts was once upon a time the site of our Registry of Vehicles (ROV), it's now a commercial building with residency. Famous for printing services and some food shop there are also toys that you can find. Directly behind is our Election Department. I could remember that I always find myself in the ROV for road-tax payment or making a transfer, due to my vocation as a staff of a freight forwarder company. Now ROV is known at the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
