Queen Street, Bugis, Singapore
December 2009
The Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, stands at the junction of Queen Street and Bras Basah Road. The oldest Catholic church in Singapore, its foundation stone for the Cathedral was laid on 18 June 1843 and construction was completed by 1847. It was gazetted a national monument on 06 July 1973.
On 08 September 2009, the Straits Times ran a report on the church's weakening foundations. Construction on the Singapore Management University's new campus next door and the Circle Line construction had resulted in obvious cracks on the church's walls, columns and floors. The church was also said to be tilting. A restoration timeline is in place. A survey of the building has been completed and emergency repairs are currently in progress.
