SINGAPORE – Once hailed as the biggest outdoor television studio in the region, what remains of the now-defunct Tuas TV World is slated for demolition by the second quarter of 2024.It was built between 1990 and 1992 at a cost of about $35 million by Singapore Broadcasting Corporation – an antecedent of Mediacorp.
SBC representatives said in 1990 that when completed, Tuas TV World would be 40 times the size of an “early Singapore” set they had in Caldecott Hill, and allow the broadcaster to produce more dramas. A spokesman for the Singapore Police Force told The Straits Times on Friday that the Special Operations Command leased the premises and converted it into a temporary facility called Tuas Training Village to meet training needs.
In February 2012, Mediacorp returned to the location to film Channel 8’s 30th anniversary period drama Joys Of Life, and among the actors who went back was Chew Chor Meng, who had filmed about 10 dramas at the site since the 90s. Mr Chew, who brought his wife and two daughters to TV World in 2012 to show them where he previously worked, said that the site is part of Singapore’s drama history and part of the collective memory of actors around his age.
