About
Clan and trade associations were important institutions for mutual assistance in 19th and early 20th century Singapore, as they helped new immigrants from China settle down and looked after their welfare.
The Building
Along Ann Siang Road and Club Street are numerous clan and trade associations where, stepping into one, time seems to stand still. Some still retain their meeting halls filled with portraits of members from the past and century-old furniture. Some of these associations can be found at 17 Ann Siang Road (Ching Yoon Wooi Kwoon), 25 Ann Siang Road (Kwong Wai Siew Li Si She Shut), and 84 Club Street (Nam Sun Wui Kun).
