Singapore Yee Clan Association, Singapore

Singapore Yee Clan Association (7 July 2011)


Singapore Yee Clan Association (GPS: 1.27877, 103.8407) is a Chinese clan association in Singapore. It is located on Bukit Pasoh Road, in the Chinatown subzone of Outram planning area. The association occupies a two-storey terrace townhouse built in 1957.

The Yee Clan Association is a Cantonese clan association. Its members are clansmen from the Taishan, Xinhui, Kaiping and Enping subethnic clans of the Cantonese people. As with many clan associations, it was founded to look after fellow clansmen who were poor and less fortunate, to help them establish themselves in the Nanyang.

Originally called the Yee Clan Family Association, it renamed itself to Singapore Yee Clan Association in 1950. On 11 July 1954, the association formed a building committee to raise funds in order to purchase a property for its new premises, and the present building on Bukit Pasoh Road was bought from the Eu Tong Sen family on 19 November, 1954.

After seeing a drop in membership in the 1970s and 80s, the Singapore Yee Clan Association has since rebounded as there is a renewed interest in cultural and clan activities among Singaporeans. Today the association is one of the still active ones in Singapore.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
