If you’ve never been, the entrance to Old Changi Hospital is at the end of a steep, winding road. The walk up gave me a moment to mentally prepare myself (or, more accurately, to get even more nervous). It was completely dark, and we were guided only by the beam of the guide’s flashlight.
As we approached the entrance, a car suddenly appeared, driving toward us. I wondered, “Can everyone see this car, or is it just me?” Thankfully, everyone else reacted to it too. It was a police car. Two officers stepped out and asked what we were doing there. You’re not allowed to enter the hospital compound (no thanks, even if we were allowed!), but you can approach the entrance.
The tour guide seemed accustomed to this, as he conducts tours there regularly. He showed his license, and the police seemed satisfied. Before they left, they said, “Stay safe.” That gave me chills.
