Ee Hoe Hean Club, Singapore (7 July 2011)
Ee Hoe Hean Club (GPS: 1.27947, 103.84043) is a Chinese millionaires' club in
Singapore. It occupies an ornate 3-storey building at
Bukit Pasoh Road, in the
Chinatown subzone of
Outram planning area.
Ee Hoe Hean Club traces its founding to 1895. Its founders were Lim Nee Soon, Gan Eng Seng and Lim Boon Keng. It was the meeting place of the wealth-to-do in turn of the century Singapore. The founders and club members were mostly those who made it big in the Nanyang, and held the Qing Dynasty government of China in contempt. For that reason, they actively supported the 1911
Xinhai Revolution, which led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, ushering in the founding of the Republic of China.
Originally located at Duxton Hill, Ee Hoe Hean Club moved to its present site at Bukit Pasoh Road in 1925. The clubhouse was rebuilt in 2006 at a cost of S$2.5million and officially opened on 9 November 2008 by the Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam. It continues to display its original construction year of 1927.
