Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan
Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan (, SHHK), or the Singapore Hokkien Association in English, is a cultural and educational foundation. It was established in 1840 to promote education, social welfare and the preservation of the Chinese language and culture among Chinese Singaporean and other Overseas Chinese groups in Southeast Asia. As of 2014, the SHHK, which has 5000 members, is the largest clan association in Singapore.〔
==History==
In the early 19th century, many immigrants from Fujian Province in China came to settle in Southeast Asia, including Singapore.〔 These immigrants established several clan associations to address the social needs of this immigrant community. The Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan was the first such organization to be established in 1840 on the grounds of the Thian Hock Keng Temple.〔 However, the SHHK also served other members of the Chinese community who came from other parts of China.〔
In 1929, the philanthropist Tan Kah Kee became the president of Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan. In 1986, SHHK became one of the seven founding members of the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations. SHHK represented the interests of Singaporean Chinese speaking the Hokkien dialect, while Sam Kiang Huay Kuan catered to those from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi; the Singapore Foochew Association promoted the Fuzhou dialect; the Singapore Kiung Chow Hwee Kuan to Hainanese; Singapore Kwangtung Hui Kuan to Cantonese; Singapore Nanyang Khek Community Guild defended Hakka culture; and Singapore Teo Chew Poit Ip Huay Kuan for the Teochew dialect.
In 2014, the clan moved its headquarters from Telok Ayer Street, where it had been based at for 174 years, to the former premises of Changkat Changi Secondary School.〔 Its new headquarters also houses the SHHK-run pre-school and a cultural centre.
