Bras Basah Complex was completed in 1980. In the early 1980s, Bras Basah Complex hosted small-scale Xinyao recitals and performance which were immensely popular and drew large crowds. During its peak, there was an event taking place almost every Saturday at the complex. There were also other arts and culture-related activities such as book fairs and art exhibitions which helped to attract customers.

Till this day, Singaporeans (especially art students like us) will be in need of art materials. Book collectors, young artists, students and bargain hunters will know that Bras Basah Complex is the place to go.

The building seems to require renovation as the structure looks rather old and dirty. It will be necessary if it wants to reaffirm its position as Singapore's hub for reading and culture.
