Bus service number 7 was chosen as it passes the Singapore Badminton Stadium which is now branded as the KFF Badminton Arena when it reopened on National Day last year. On 1 September 1999, the Singapore Badminton Hall at Guillemard became the first sports facility in Singapore to be designated a historic site by the National Heritage Board. The stadium was officially opened in June 1952. It hosted the Thomas Cup in 1955 and 1958. The stadium was the site for the vote-counting for the Referendum on Singapore’s merger with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak on 1 September 1962.
