One of the icons of Singapore is the MICA building (Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts). Otherwise known as the Old Hill Street Police Station, it was erected in 1934 to house the Hill Street Police Station and Barracks on the orders of the British 'Colonial Secretary of the Straits Settlements'. It is now gazetted as a national monument and what attracts the eyes of any visitor to the Clarke Quay area is the array of rainbow colours the shutters display.
