About
This association was established in 1918 by immigrants from Jinjiang County in southern Fujian, China.
The History
During World War II, the building was used by the Overseas Chinese General Mobilisation Council, which helped the British in supplying labourers and volunteers for the defence of Singapore.
The Building
The current building contrasts with its ornately decorated neighbours. The use of straight lines, concrete ledges, and mild steel framed windows is typical of the Modern style that was popular from the 1950s to the early 1970s.
