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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
