The British SIFE (Singapore Infants and Fostering Establishment) headquarters was located at the Old Hill Street Police Station in Singapore. After the fall of Singapore to Japanese forces during World War II in February 1942, the building was repurposed for various uses, including as a military headquarters. The British colonial administration was significantly disrupted, leading to the establishment of Japanese military rule in the region.
