THE land was bought 10 years ago. The plan: erect a building to house the Singapore Buddhist Federation.

But it took almost a decade to be completed, and the federation's eight-storey Geylang headquarters will finally have its official opening today.

With a site area roughly the size of eight badminton courts, the 6,800 sq ft building is fitted with offices, classrooms and conference halls to conduct its various religious classes. A smiling, 4m-high Buddha greets devotees at its entrance.
