Built in 1882, the Singapore General Hospital used to occupy the site of a Sepoy Camp (Sepoy*is from theHindi*"Sipahi" for "Indian troops") of the*British East India Company. As a result, the hospital grounds is known to the*Chinese*to this day as*sipai poh, meaning "Sepoy plain" in theHokkien*dialect.[2]*Located nearby was the Outram Prison (now demolished), which was the site of the public executions of the*1915 Singapore Mutiny.
