Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2017 CUSTOM HOUSE, MAXWELL ROAD This was the headquarters of Singapore Customs from 1932 to 1989. Formerly known as the Government Monopolies Department, the Customs collected duties levied on selected imported goods such as opium and liquor. It banned opium after the Second World War due to societal problems caused by the drug. The Custom House also housed the Film Censor’s Office and the Maxwell Road Post Office.
