 According to Mr Ang, "95% of the original monument, in terms of authentic facade and structures, have been preserved, even the former flagpole and the steps leading to it".In 2009, St James Power Station was gazetted as a national monument to represent Singapore's modernisation and urban development during its time-period of British colonial rule.As such, its owners cannot alter its facade, build any new extensions or hack any of the old walls, leaving partygoers to dance and enjoy themselves within its iconic red-brick walls.
