Pat Woh Wui Koon 八和會館

This is Singapore's Pat Woh Wui Koon. Its present premises is at Keong Siak Street.


It will be celebrating its 152th anniversary this year. Pat Woh is an association for cantonese opera artistes and professionals. In olden days cantonese opera artistes were obliged to join this organization.



An old photo showing HK actor Kwan Tuck Heng with Pat Woh members when he visited the association. The year was not stated.

Right, it is road. I thought it is street because the cantonese call it 'Kung Sek Kai' - kai means street.
