恭

贺新加坡中华总商会为庆祝建国五十周年举办的历史展正式开幕。

中华总商会成立至今已逾一个世纪，是新加坡华商界的领导机构。作为历史最悠久的商业团体，总商会和属下的会员也在新加坡建国历程中，扮演了重要角色，贡献良多。总商会不遗余力，协助本地华商壮大实力，以促进我国的经济发展，这包括了帮助会员拓展业务能力、寻找新的商机，以及和全球华商广泛建立联系。此外，总商会也积极栽培能够游刃于本地和海外的新一代双语商界领袖，加强新加坡的竞争优势。在此，我也要特别赞扬总商会，这些年来，不但大力推广中华语言和文化，也尽全力在这个多元种族社会里，促进社会和谐。大家不分彼此，团结一致，努力使国家富强昌盛，这是新加坡和总商会的独特之处。我深信总商会将继续这方面的工作，并且会不断取得丰硕的成果。我冀望新加坡中华总商会秉持先辈的献身爱国精神，继续为新加坡的国家建设做出重大贡献，使总商会这百年来取得的辉煌成就，更上一层楼。

ongratulations on the launch of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) SG50 Exhibition. SCCCI and its members have played an important part

in the building of Singapore. Founded more than a century ago, SCCCI has established itself as the leader of the Chinese business community.

SCCCI is also nurturing a new generation of bilingual business leaders who can operate both in Singapore and abroad. I commend the SCCCI’s efforts to promote Chinese language and culture, and foster social harmony in our multiracial and multi-religious society. This is something unique to Singapore and SCCCI. I am confident that you will continue to do so, and do it well.

MESSAGE 蔡其生新加坡中华总商会会长

新

加坡中华总商会从1906年创办至今，已经有109年的历史。在历史的长河中，总商会的航船跨越风

浪，自始至终维护华社和商家的利益，与社会福祉息息相关。在新加坡的建国历程中，总商会是见证者，也是参与者。早在1966年，建国总理李光耀就曾说过：“新加坡中华总商会的历史反映着新加坡的历史。”这句话高度概括了总商会早期所走过的道路，也凸显了总商会与时并进的使命感。新加坡建国之前，总商会照顾华族福利，兴教办学，协助维持地方治安，赈灾筹款，支持中国辛亥革命和抗日战争，发起筹建日本占领时期死难人民纪念碑，祭奠遇难的各族同胞。在新加坡争取独立时，锲而不舍，冲破层层阻力，为华人争取公民权，最终惠及各个种族。建国后，总商会善用多年累积的商贸网络，全力推动经济发展，招商引资，促进新加坡与其他国家的经济联系。同时，总商会也积极支持国防建设和讲华语运动，努力协助本地企业提高科技应用水平，通过创办世界华商大会，扩展新加坡的经济网络，把全球华商汇聚在一起。在庆祝新加坡建国五十周年之际，总商会举办历史展，不仅能够让社会各界更加全面地了解中华总商会在建国前后留下的历史脉络，同时也能倡导追求卓越，回馈社会，造福民众的华商精神，鼓励年轻一代继承前辈为国为民服务的精神。迈入新的时代，总商会的命运将更密切地与国家的命运结合在一起，新加坡的未来，就是中华总商会的未来！

MESSAGE Thomas Chua President of Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry

ince its establishment in 1906, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry has accumulated a history of 109 years. Despite weathering numerous storms throughout its long history, the Chamber has always adhered to its mission of upholding the interests of the Chinese business community. During Singapore’s journey of nation-building, the Chamber was not only a key witness but a zealous participant. Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once said in 1966: “The history of the Chamber is a reflection of the history of Singapore.” This statement encompasses the path taken by the Chamber in the early years, and highlights the Chamber’s mission of progressing with the times. Before Singapore gained independence, the Chamber looked after the welfare of the ethnic Chinese community, established schools, maintained territorial safety, raised funds for disaster relief, and supported the Chinese Revolution and anti-Japanese war efforts. In particular, the Chamber was the key driving force behind the Civilian War Memorial, a monument dedicated as a proper resting place for all victims who perished during the Japanese Occupation. During Singapore’s pursuit of self-government, the Chamber relentlessly fought to attain citizenship rights for Chinese immigrants in Singapore, and in the process, also attained citizenship rights for all other local immigrants. After Singapore achieved nationhood, the Chamber gradually withdrew from the political arena, and concentrated on promoting trade and investment to expand Singapore’s links with other countries. At the same time, the Chamber supported the building up of our National Defence and the Speak Mandarin Campaign, helped local enterprises to step up on technology adoption, and founded the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention to expand Singapore’s economic network and congregate the global Chinese community. As Singapore celebrates 50 years of independence, the Chamber has organised this history exhibition, not only for the public at large to understand the contributions of the Chamber pre and post-independence, but to impress upon them the Chinese entrepreneurial spirit of pursuing excellence, giving back to society and sharing the fruits of prosperity. As we step into a new era, the Chamber’s destiny will become even more closely linked with that of Singapore, for Singapore’s future is the future of the SCCCI!

Foreword

若

前言

说新加坡河的发展是新加坡历史的写照，那么，上百年前创立于新加坡河畔的中华总商会(简称总商会)，就是

新加坡历史长河的一面倒影。 1966年，建国总理李光耀曾说：“新加坡中华总商会的历史，反映着新加坡的历史”。总商会作为华商的最高代表机构，不仅维护国内华族商家的利益，也积极地协助推动新加坡经济、社会、教育、文化等各方面的发展，尤其是1965 年独立建国后，总商会更是孜孜不倦地，持续在各领域上服务全民，五十载与国家风雨同渡。

f the development of the Singapore River is the portrayal of the history of Singapore, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce that was established more than a hundred years ago in the environs of the Singapore River would undoubtedly be the reflection of Singapore’s history. As Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once said in 1966, “The history of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a reflection of the history of Singapore”. Besides promoting the interests of the Chinese business community as the apex Chinese business organisation in Singapore, the Chamber actively promoted the development of community, education and culture. Especially after Singapore gained independence in 1965, the Chamber continued to provide assistance and services to every citizen, braving turbulent times alongside the nation over these 50 years.

1900年代，新加坡是东南亚首要贸易中心，也是东西方交通往来的枢纽。 In the 1900s, Singapore was the main trading centre of Southeast Asia and was favourably positioned at the crossroads of the East-West trade routes.

宗风远鬯

Apex Business Organisation with Predominant Influence

819年，英国人莱佛士开拓新加坡，鼓励各地人士包括早期定居南洋的土生华人前来经商定居。19世纪末20世

纪初，新加坡已从原来的渔村发展成为国际贸易商港，吸引了大批华南地区的穷苦民众飘洋过海前来讨生活，而成立于这个时期的总商会，其主要任务便是协助华商通商，让华族移民在本地安顿下来。新加坡中华总商会于1906年初成立，创会初期入会华商就达600余人，他们皆为当时新加坡的重要商人及华社各界领袖。英殖民地时期，总商会除维护华商利益外，也领导华社、关照本地华人，推动社会与经济和文教发展；当时，殖民政府通过商会争取民心，而商家和人民则借助总商会向殖民政府反映民意。

n 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore, he encouraged people from all places, including local Chinese who settled in Nanyang in the early days, to settle down in Singapore. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Singapore had flourished from a fishing village to an entrepot port attracting poor immigrants from China to seek a living here. Established during this period, the two main missions of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce were to assist businessmen in their trades and to help Chinese immigrants settle down. When the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce was set up in early 1906, it gathered some 600 Chinese businessmen who were important merchants and leaders of the Chinese community. During colonial rule, besides protecting the interests of Chinese businessmen, the Chamber also took on the responsibility of leading and caring for the local Chinese community and the development of culture and education. The colonial government gained the trust of the Chinese community through the Chamber while the Chamber served as a conduit to reflect the views of the local Chinese business community to the colonial government.

Established in early 1906, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce was initially housed in the Thong Chai Medical Institution before moving to the Wee Ah Hood residence at 47 Hill Street. The Chamber bought over the Hill Street building for $55,000 in 1911 and has operated there ever since.

Benefiting the Chinese Community Through Promoting Trade and Industry 1930年代，总商会多次在大世界举办商展会，是当年新加坡的经贸盛事。 The Chamber organised many trade fairs at the Great World Amusement Park in the 1930s. The fairs were major trade events in Singapore during that period of history.

Their far-sightedness has helped Singapore to preserve an important historical monument.

日

占时期，总商会会务被迫停顿。二战结束后，总商会急速负起重任，除了协助稳定经济、重建家园外，

也为数十万各族人民争取公民权，并向殖民政府争取参政权、反对议院语言限制等，以维护华族权益。此外，总商会也秉承华人先贤兴学办校的崇高精神，大力支持教育

事业。 1959年新加坡实行自治，总商会积极支持政府推行工业化政策，为新加坡奠定经济基础。1963年至1965年初，新马局势动荡，总商会也协同友族商会，助政府稳定社会治安。

uring the Japanese Occupation, activities at the Chamber came to a halt. After the war, the Chamber swiftly took on the responsibility of stabilising the economy, rebuilding our homeland, fighting for citizenship rights for people of all races and protecting the interests of the Chinese by fighting for the right to participate in the legislative assembly elections and opposing the legislature language clause. The Chamber also carried on the tradition and spirit of building schools, giving its fullest support in promoting education. When Singapore attained self-government in 1959, the Chamber gave strong support to the government’s industrialisation policy which set the foundation for Singapore’s economy. From 1963 to 1965, when social unrest was widespread in Singapore and Malaysia, the Chamber worked with the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and the Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce to help restore social order.

A “Memorial Building Fund Committee” was also set up. In picture: The “Mass Rally Demand for Compensation” led by the Chamber which saw an attendance of more than 10,000 people and hundreds of organisations.

自1967年起，总商会每年2月15日风雨不改，在死难人民纪念碑前举办 “日本占领时期死难人民祭礼”，邀请各国驻新使节、宗教团体、各族商会社团、退役军人、死难者家属和学校师生等代表出席，悼念先人之余，也提醒公众，尤其年轻一代居安思危, 珍惜今天的和平, 并了解保家卫国的重要性。

积基树本 Establishing Foundations

Since 1967, the Chamber has been holding a “War Memorial Service in Commemoration of the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation” on 15 February every year. It also marks Total Defence Day, the day Singapore came under Japanese Occupation and serves as a solemn reminder that peace should not be taken for granted. The service is attended by ambassadors, religious organisations, business and clan associations, uniformed groups and veterans’ league, students and families of the victims, in remembrance of the victims who perished during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore.

1963年3月，中华总商会倡建日本占领时期死难人民纪念碑。纪念碑于 1967年1月竣工，四大支柱代表我国的四大文化源流。 In March 1963, the Chamber commenced on the planning and construction of the Civilian War Memorial. Completed in January 1967, the Memorial's four pillars of the monument symbolise the four ethnic groups in Singapore.

总商会发起筹建日本占领时期死难人民纪念碑，1967年2月15日由建国总理李光耀主持落成典礼，并代表新加坡政府与人民向死难英灵献上花圈。 On 15 February 1967, Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew unveiled the Civilian War Memorial and presented a wreath to war victims on behalf of the Singapore government.

1964年，新加坡发生种族冲突事件，总商会与印族、马来族商会合作，协助政府安抚各个族群，迅速恢复社会安宁及商业秩序。 In 1964, racial riots broke out in Singapore. The Chamber worked with the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and the Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce to allay anxieties and racial tension amongst the ethnic groups, swiftly restoring social order and trade.

战结束一直到国家独立初期，总商会继往开来，经商兴业之余，也带领华社逐步融入本地社会，参与

更多的民生及文教事业发展。 1960年代初，总商会在会员商家精诚团结，乐捐奉献下，顺利于1964年将古朴的旧会所重建成典雅、现代化的大厦。楼高9层的大厦巧妙融合东西方建筑设计元素，大门前在华族文化中寓意庄严吉祥的石狮及九龙壁，更具尊贵与权威。新会所反映了华商在身份认同上的转变，从落叶归根到落地生根，远渡重洋的过番客最终认定新加坡这片土地为家园。

fter the war to the early days of independence, the Chamber gradually engaged the Chinese community in participating in more social and cultural activities. In the early 1960s, bolstered by the strong support and generous donations from its members, the Chamber redeveloped its original premises into an elegant and modern building. The 9-storey building that blends architectural designs from the East and West was completed in 1964. The two stone lions standing guard majestically outside the main entrance as well as the magnificent Nine Dragon Wall symbolise good luck, dignity and authority. It was also a new building which signified the resolve of the Chinese businessmen to settle here and make Singapore their home.

1961年，总商会拆除旧建筑，并于原址建起新厦。

“这座高楼也象征着一个伟大而骄傲的传统。它代表安稳，因为它具体地说明了一个种族的人士，曾经怎样远渡重洋来到这块土地上，克勤克俭建立基业，而且和本地的原住民，一同落地生根。”

“The building is a symbol of a great and proud heritage. It speaks of security, for it is concrete proof of the qualities of thrift and industry of a people who had come to the South Seas and made good and settled with the indigenous people here. It is the security of achievement. It is immovable proof that the Chinese had put their lot with the others in this country.

群策匡时

Unifying for the Future

965年建国前后，总商会不仅为华社请命，更为新加坡社会各界仗义执言。在社会上，总商会领导各族群向日

本追讨二战牺牲者的赔偿，树立纪念碑悼念。在商务上，领导海内外商团，打破当时西方船运公会的垄断，解开新加坡转口贸易的经济束缚。独立后直至1980年代，随着国际局势的演变，总商会时刻向政府反映工商动态，并频繁出访各国，协助政府突破经济困境，繁荣国家商业。在商言商之余，也涉足社会福利、教育发展及文化传承等领域，协助政府打造和谐蓬勃的社会，与国家一起在瞬息万变、竞争激烈的世界中同行，与时并进。

round the time of Singapore’s separation from Malaysia in 1965, the Chamber did not only represent the interests of the Chinese community, but started speaking up for the different communities in Singapore. On the social front, the Chamber led the different racial groupings to seek reparation from the Japanese for the victims sacrificed during the war and erected a Civilian War Memorial in remembrance of the lives lost.

1960年代中期，蓬勃发展的新加坡海港。 The flourishing Port of Singapore in the mid-1960s. Shipping has always been a vital lifeline of the Singapore economy. However, the shipping conferences set up during the colonial era had been monopolising freight rates, with adverse repercussions on trade in Singapore. In 1964, the Chamber led the rubber trade in Singapore and Malaysia on a boycott in protest, forcing the Straits/ New York Conference to call off their intended increment. In 1967, the Chamber again brought up the freight rates issue, wanting to break the monopoly of the freight conferences. By the early 1970s, the bargaining power of Singapore and Malaysia businesses against dominant shipping conferences had increased due to this concerted Chamber-led movement. This demonstrated the Chamber’s collective efforts in negotiation and its ability to deal effectively with the government, industries and international business networks.

开埠以来，船运一直是新加坡的经济命脉。但殖民时期成立的船运公会却长期垄断船运载费，严重阻碍我国转口贸易的发展。1964年，总商会带领新马树胶界进行抗争抵制，迫使海峡及纽约航运公会取消涨价。1967年，总商会再度提出船运公会费率课题，要求打破船运公会对运费的垄断。直至1970年代初，这项商会领导的运动增加了新马商家对西方航运业讨价还价的资本，突显出总商会集体交涉的力量，以及与政府、商界和跨国商业网络之间的互动能力。

国迄今，总商会已拥有多过150个商业团体会员和超过4000名商号会员，其中包括来自各行业的跨国

公司、政联机构、大型金融与商业组织和中小型企业。今天的总商会不仅是本地华商的最高领导机构，在国际商业舞台上亦信誉卓著；在维护新加坡商家利益、推动国内外商贸、教育、文化与社区发展各个方面，更是利泽全民。总商会从创立，至茁壮，到今天成为一个与新加坡商贸及社会福祉息息相关的民间团体，其间遭遇过无数的时代风浪；可以说在新加坡的建国历程中，总商会是见证者，也是参与者。未来，这艘航行上百年的巨轮亦将继承前人基业，启迪后进，放眼四海。

ince Independence till the present day, the Chamber has recruited more than 150 Trade Association members and more than 4,000 corporate members. The members consist of MNCs from various sectors, government-linked companies, large financial and business organisations and SMEs. Today, besides being the apex body of the Chinese business community in Singapore, the Chamber has won acclaim worldwide. The Chamber has also made valued and important contributions in many areas such as upholding the interests of the local business community, promoting local and international trade, education, cultural and community development. From its humble beginnings, the Chamber has become an important private sector business association which is inextricably linked to Singapore’s trade and social well-being, and which has traversed numerous vicissitudes in Singapore’s history. The Chamber can be said to be a witness as well as a participant of Singapore’s nation-building journey. In the years to come, the Chamber will continue to build on the legacy of its pioneers to inspire the younger generation and pursue the goal of global connectivity.

入建国50年，总商会已经成功转型，不再分帮划派，也不再是纯粹以方言和华语作为沟通语言的华

社组织。今天的总商会，其组织结构更能反映出新时代的新加坡社会；它以更坚定的信心继续前进，与国家同渡的使命感始终如一。 2015年，总商会举办了《新加坡建国50周年杰出华商奖》，陈庆炎总统及李显龙总理皆高度赞扬华商在新加坡建国过程中的贡献，更赞扬中华总商会在新加坡经济转型与社会发展中所扮演的积极角色。过尽千帆，作为华社的支柱、国家的领航组织之一，总商会势必也将在未来，随国家发展的洪流，承前启后，群策群力，为社会的和谐稳定、永续发展，勇往前进。

s we enter the 50th year of Singapore’s independence, the Chamber has successfully transformed itself. It is no longer an organisation divided by clans, nor a Chinese organisation using only Chinese dialects and Mandarin as the medium of communication. The current organisation structure of the Chamber is a better reflection of contemporary Singapore society. These developments would enable the Chamber to move forward with greater confidence while adhering to its convictions and sense of duty towards our nation. In 2015, the Chamber held the “SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards”. During the awards ceremony, President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong praised the contribution of Chinese pioneers in Singapore’s nationbuilding and the Chamber’s active role in Singapore’s economic transformation and social development. As a pillar of the Chinese community and one of the leading organisations of the nation, the Chamber will continue to strive and do its best for social stability and harmony, and in pursuing excellence.

“获奖的前辈各个都是商界泰斗，我很感谢他们愿意用自身的故事作为华商精神的真实案例，成为年轻一代效仿的榜样。” - 总商会第58届会长蔡其生 “The most notable of all is that these entrepreneurs are not only preoccupied with the success of their business. They also devote time, energy and resources into society, culture, education and charitable projects, are active in community organisations, and lead the way in industry development, working hard to promote Chinese culture and personally put into practice traditional values, and helping the less privileged among us. They are role models of society and pillars of our nation!” - Chamber President Thomas Chua speaking at the Chamber’s SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards Ceremony, 2015.

“Despite the challenges and uncertainties surrounding Singapore’s future then, many of our Business Pioneers decided to build their lives here. They left their former homes in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Taiwan to start their businesses from scratch in Singapore. As the Singapore economy evolved and progressed, these Business Pioneers seized opportunities and adapted to the environment. Our Pioneers believed in Singapore’s future and remained rooted here.”

“华商群体的成功与我们国家的成长与发展密不可分。在早期的新加坡，大部分先驱是移民或移民的后代，他们是为了寻找商机而来到新加坡，在这里度过了五六十年代艰难的政治转型期，陪伴新加坡从殖民地时代进入自治时期，之后并入马来西亚。1965年，新加坡独立之后，许多华商无惧前路风雨留在新加坡，把这里当作自己的家园，他们与政府团结在一起，建设适合工商业发展的亲商环境，并通过文化与教育活动为社会发展作出贡献。成功华商也是社会慈善活动的领军人物。”
