The Former Supreme Court Building (Malay: Bangunan Mahkamah Agung Lama, Chinese: 最高法院大厦) is the former courthouse of the Supreme Court of Singapore. The court moved to a new building, where it began operations on 20 June 2005. The former courthouse was the last structure in the style of classical architecture to be built in the former British colony. Together with the Former City Hall, the former courthouse has been converted for use as National Gallery Singapore; the complex opened in 2015.[1]
