The Former Attorney General's Chambers is a historic building at 1 Parliament Place, Singapore. Built in the Edwardian style in 1906, the two-storey civic building occupies the site of the former one-storey Court House Annexe, which was built in 1839 and later enlarged to house the Government Printing Office.

In the post-independent years, the building housed the Public Works Department from the 1960s to 1971, and from 1971 to 1991 the Attorney-General's Chambers. Today it is known as Parliament House Block C, being part of the Parliament House Complex. It was gazetted as a National Monument of Singapore on 14 February, 1992.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
