The Former Admiralty House (Malay: Gedung Lama Laksamana; ) is a historic building, located at Old Nelson Road within the Sembawang Planning Area in the North Region of Singapore. The building was used as the administration building of Furen International School (FIS) until November 2019 and is currently being refurbished for use as part of the Sembawang Sports and Community Hub. History The house was completed in 1940 and was named Canberra House. It is a residence for the Rear Admiral, Malaya - the commander of His Majesty's Naval Establishments (naval base) in Sembawang. It was to have been one of three residences to have been built for the senior commanders of the three service arms: the army, led by the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Malaya (Flagstaff House at Kheam Hock Road); the Air Force, led by the Air-Officer Commanding (AOC), Far East in Tanglin (there is no evidence of this having been built) and the Navy.

In 1958, it became the residence of the British Royal Navy Commander-in-Chief, Far East Station when the Flag Officers role was subsumed under the command. It was subsequently renamed Admiralty House (not to be confused with the earlier C-in-C's residence at Grange Road also named Admiralty House). The building was renamed again to ANZUK House in 1971 as the residence of the Commander of the ANZUK Force following the British military withdrawal. After the British forces left Singapore in 1975, Sembawang Shipyard inherited the building and used it as a recreation club. In 1991, the building was renovated to become Yishun Country Club.
