Lucky Plaza was the most successful of malls in Singapore in the early eighties. Today, it is a busy haven for Filipinos, especially those employed in the maid and housekeeping profession. There is an apartment block above the mall.
Lucky Plaza and many other buildings along Orchard Road were a reflection of the dynamism of the Singapore economy during the period of high growth in the seventies and eighties. The twenty-first century had seen almost no new constuction (except renovations) in Orchard Road.

Well, heheh, it could be a haven for them from cruel and abusive Singaporean employers too...
These get reported frequently in the papers. What's the matter with these cruel employers?
