Opening ceremony of SIR Building
1998: On 1 April, Singapore Immigration & Registration (SIR) was formed, a merger between the National Registration Department (NRD) and Singapore Immigration (SI). The merger, with the proposal being surfaced several times since the 1980s, was to provide a one-stop service for citizens, permanent residents and foreign visitors, given that immigration and registration of individuals are inextricably linked.
The SIR logo was publicly unveiled by Mr Wong Kan Seng, then-Minister for Home Affairs on 3 March 1998, during the opening ceremony of the SIR Building.
