Pasir Laba Camp
Coordinates: 1°20′02.25″N 103°40′20.43″E / 1.3339583°N 103.6723417°E Pasir Laba Camp (Abbreviation: PLC) is an installation of the Singapore Armed Forces. It is composed primarily of Army tenant units, apart from tri-service SAF Warrant Officer School. It is considered the home of the Warrant Officer and Specialist Corps, just as SAFTI Military Institute is the home of the Officer Corps.
Pasir Laba Camp is located at the intersection of Pasir Laba and Upper Jurong Roads. By virtue of their locations, Pasir Laba and Sungei Gedong Camps both control the entrances to the SAFTI Live Firing Area, which is restricted from civilian entry.
SAF Training Institute (SAFTI) was constructed at the end of Pasir Laba Road since 1961, with preparations to construct the area. It used the temporary site (Pasir Laba Road starting), because it was able to control the SAFTI live firing area. SAFTI at Pasir Laba Road was opened on 18 June 1966. The SAFTI Live Firing Area was drawn out in 1967 but there are 504 signboards in the vicinity (the signboards do indicate 'Danger. Live Firing Area-KEEP CLEAR').
In 1980, several tenant units including School of Infantry Specialists and School of Infantry Weapons were located at the site together with HQ Infantry (now 9DIV/Inf). Officer Cadet School was given the sole right to the name "SAFTI", while the other units were housed in what was known as Pasir Laba Camp.
However, this left the men of Pasir Laba Camp feeling like second class residents. As a result, Pasir Laba Camp was renamed "SAFTI" once again on 31 May 1986. This lasted until Officer Cadet School and various other officer-training institutions were moved to a new complex, SAFTI Military Institute, along Upper Jurong Road on June 1995. It was renamed to Pasir Laba Camp back again.
