It was towards the turn of the century that the various dialectal communities within the Chinese Catholic Mission became sufficiently large enough to form separate parishes of their own. They constituted a growth strategy that led to the creation of a localised and “Asianised” church. To achieve this, the church had to organise its various communities along the lines of language and ethnicity, and give them a place of their own to congregate and erect their communal social institutions. Although the pioneering Chinese parishes at Bukit Timah, Serangoon and in town were partly constituted by Chinese Christians from various dialect groups, they were nevertheless designated Teochew parishes, as the main body of the Chinese Christians were Teochews. | Conceiving ethnic-dialectal communities -- In retrospect -- Endnotes. | Catholic Church--Missions--Singapore|Chinese--Missions--Singapore | Heritage and Culture {18336130} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172}|NLB Collections>>Index to Singapore Information {16145204} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.

Telok Ayer was designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822 and gained prominence in the 1820s because it served as the landing site for early immigrants. This led to a concentration of religious buildings and Chinese clan associations along the street. The street thus gives a useful insight into the life of early Chinese immigrants. | [Telok Ayer Street] -- History -- Description -- Variant names -- References. | Street names--Singapore|Immigrants--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore | Urban planning {18336138}|Streets and Places {18336099}|Customs {18336131} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

As a community, Indians have played an important role in the historical, economic, cultural and political development of Singapore. The arrival of Indians to Singapore reflects the long, historic association the Southeast Asian region has had with India. Before the 19th century, contact between India and Southeast Asia was characterised by a movement of goods and ideas. The nature of this contact somewhat changed with the British occupation of Malaya. Instead of merchants, traders and adventurers, more migrant labourers arrived at the region. The Indian community in Singapore has come a long way from its days of being migrants. Though a minority, the Indian community is a vibrant and diverse group that has made significant contributions to the overall development of Singapore, and continues to do so. | Introduction -- Early contacts between India and Southeast Asia -- Indian migration during British period -- Indenture labour system -- Kangany system -- Profile of migrants from 1899s in Malaya -- Arrival of Indians to Singapore -- Settlement patterns of Indians in Singapore -- Builders of early Singapore : Indians' contribution to infrastructure and economy -- Population growth of Indians in Singapore -- Trends in occupational diversity -- Ethnolinguistic and religious diversity -- Conclusion -- References. | Emigration and immigration|East Indians--Singapore|East Indians--Malaysia | Heritage and Culture {18336130}|Diaspora {18486566}|Malay archipelago {18486577} | eng | NLB Collections>>Publications>>BiblioAsia {16180172}|NLB Collections>>Index to Singapore Information {16145204} | Article {18335714} | All Rights Reserved.
