The Chinatown Storyboar s measure 2.5 metres x 1.7 metres. They show an orientation map of the neic jhbourhood and 'stories' on the history of streets, buildings and places. Mar y of these 'stories' have personal meaning to those who have grown up visiting, shopping and even living in Chinatown. They are also useful information guides for passers-by, local visitors and tourists to the area in tracing the historic and cultural heritage of Chinatown. Hopefully, this will encour;iage many more building owners in Chinatown to put up plaques on their building walls - as reminders and markers of the significance of their own place. The guide book "Chinatown Historic District" is published in English. It is available for sale to public at the URA Customer Service Counter, (Tel: 329 3324) at $12 per copy.

It is one of the few remaining traditional areas rich in Chinese heritage. It was an extension of the Chinese settlement in the 1900s from the already densely populated Telok Ayer area. Nicknamed the Street of Clans, it was home to some thirty Chinese cultural anc clan associations. The clan associations serve as mutual help groups assisting "sinkehs" from the various provinces of China. The ornate terraced houses here have wooden swing doors and louvred windows with bars. Their balconies with fluted balustrades and the pretty mouldings of rosettes on the walls also contribute to the unique character of the area. Bukit Pasoh was accorded c[onservation status on 7 July 1989. Its two- and three- storey shophouses are bein g restored through the combined efforts of the public and private sectors. CHING KANG HUI-KUAN Located at 27 Bukit Pasoh Road, the building was the operational headquarters of the Ching Kuo Council for General Mobilisation formed in 1941. Led by philanthropist, Tan Kah Kee for the defence of Singapore, Ching Kang Hui-Kuah is a proud reflection of Chinese patriotism and self- sacrifice. EE HOE HEAN CLUB Founded in 1895 by a group of Hokkien community leaders, the club was 3 built in 1925 for finan< cially successful Chinese. Before World War II, it was the focal point of ^he China-oriented political movements among the Singapore Chinese. It became the nerve-centre of the China Salvation Movement in South East Asia when Japan escalated its war against China in 1937. It was alscj the headquarters of the Singapore China Relief Fund Committee under the chairmanship of Tan Kah Kee. POON YUE ASSOCIATION Located at 281 Ne\y Bridge Road, it was built in 1879 with financial assistance from Hoo |Ah Kay (Whampoa), a well-known philanthropist. The building was used ajs a venue to promote mutual assistance among the members. „fiPR 05 '95 0G:55PM URP CS STH STY 65 2263549 P.5 KONG CHOW WUI KOON Formerly located in Jpper Chin Chew Street, the Kong Chow Wui Koon building, was re-esta olished at 321 New Bridge Road in 1924. It was well- known for its music and opera shows. It was also home to the Kong Chow School in 1943. TECK LIM ROAD Teck Lim Road was named after Ong Teck Lim, J.P., a successful businessman well-known for tapioca trading. He also took a keen interest in the affairs of the Chinese Co. of the Singapore Volunteer Corps and of the Straits Chinese British Association. He served 3 years as Municipal Commissioner for Central Ward. Nos. 18 to 40, built in 1929, are distinct Art Deco buildings vyith fair-face bricks and cantilevered balconies. KEONG SAIK ROAD Named after Tan Keong Saik, J.P., in 1926, one of the 5 Municipal Commissioners in 1886. Tan Keong Saik came to Singapore as a shipping clerk but quickly ro$e to become a Director on the Board of the Straits Steamship Co Ltd. This street is typified by shophouses of the Transitional Shophouse Style. DUXTON PLAIN The park, once a rail /vay track, ran parallel to Bukit Pasoh Road and under Neil Road. Establish ed before World War II, it was the forerunner of a parkway system throughoutthe city, providing a retreat from the noise and hazards of traffic. 8 BUKIT PASOH ROAD Formerly known as B ukit Padre, Dickenson's Hill and, in much earlier days, Ryan's Hill, it was als o nicknamed the Street of Clans.

One attractive feature here is the way in which the shophouses step down the hill. Until 1853, Outram Road was part of Cantonment Road. 10 NEW BRIDGE ROAD This street was laid in 1842. The Chinese call it "Sin Pa Sat Ma Chu Cheng" (Front of Nei/v Market), or "Ji Ma Lo" (Number Two Horse Way). A number of Chinese clan association buildings were found along it. ,PPR 05 '95 0 8 •56PM URP CS STH STY 65 2263549 P.6 j 5 TANJONG PAGAR One of four sub-areas of Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar was originally an early 19th century fishing village and one of the few remaining traditional areas left in Singapore. ii In the 1800s, it was converged into nutmeg plantations by the Europeans and fruit orchards by the wealthy Chinese. In the 1850s, the opening of the New Harbour (now known as the Keppel harbour) led to its economic progress and this attracted many workers, giving rise to an early Chinese settlement comprising Hokkien settlers. By 1892, it was incorporated into the Singapore Town Municipality. In the 1860s, the failure of the nutmeg plantations resulted in the subdivision and sale of the spacious bungalows into commercial and residential properties. The two- and three-storey shophouses incorporate both Chinese and Western design elements, were back to back. These were originally intended as residences for well-to-do families but were used mainly as meeting places by Chinese registered societies and businessmen.;! j i As the 'gateway' for Chinese immigrants between 1900 and 1940, clansmen with the same surnames, people in the same occupations and those with similar recreations took over mostjjof the shophouses in the area. Tanjong Pagar was accorded conservation status on 7 July 1989.

    Bukit Pasoh Telok Ayer Kreta Ayer CHINATOWN A Walking Guide Travel through 14 amazing stops to experience the best of Chinatown in 6 hours. A quick introduction to the neighbourhoods Kreta Ayer Kreta Ayer means “water cart” in Malay. It refers to ox-drawn carts that brought water to the district in the 19th and 20th centuries. The water was drawn from wells at Ann Siang Hill. Back in those days, this area was known for its clusters of teahouses and opera theatres, and the infamous brothels, gambling houses and opium dens that lined the streets. Much of its sordid history has been cleaned up. However, remnants of its vibrant past are still present – especially during festive periods like the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn celebrations. Telok Ayer Meaning “bay water” in Malay, Telok Ayer was at the shoreline where early immigrants disembarked from their long voyages. Designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822, this is the oldest neighbourhood in Chinatown. Covering Ann Siang and Club Street, this richly diverse area is packed with trendy bars and hipster cafés housed in beautifully conserved shophouses. Bukit Pasoh Located on a hill, Bukit Pasoh is lined with award-winning restaurants, boutique hotels, and conserved art deco shophouses. Once upon a time, earthen pots were produced here. Hence, its name – pasoh, which means pot in Malay. The most vibrant street in this area is Keong Saik Road – a former red-light district where gangs and vice once thrived. Today, it’s a hip enclave for stylish hotels, cool bars and great food.

  • Government Agencies to Conduct Trials on Digital Payment of Parking Charges
    PRESS RELEASE Government Agencies to Conduct Trials on digital payment of parking charges In line with our vision to become a Smart Nation, the Government is developing a digital parking mobile application to allow motorists to pay parking charges through their mobile devices. 2 The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing & Development Board (HDB), in partnership with the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), are developing a mobile application for motorists to use at public car parks that currently use paper coupons. 3 The mobile app will provide more convenience for motorists as they need not return to their vehicles to add more coupons to extend their parking session. The benefits of the app include: ● Paying for parking digitally: Motorists can use the app to key in their vehicle number, select the car park, indicate their parking duration and start parking. ● Calculating parking charges automatically: The app automatically calculates the charges that motorists have to pay based on their parking duration on a per minute basis. A refund will be given if motorists choose to end their parking session earlier. ● Extending parking session remotely: The app allows motorists to track the validity of their parking session. They can extend the duration of their parking session at their own time and convenience. 4 A trial will be conducted among public sector officers from May to June 2017 to test the functionalities of the app at selected public car parks in the city area. During this period, we will test the app, especially the payment module, to be confident of its robustness before we extend the trial to the general public.
