About Us
The Chinese Revolutionary Alliance Affair Department (Tong Meng) was found to assist the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC), Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) and Singapore Federation of Chinese Clans Association (SFCCA) in Singapore Chinese Community Development.
In October 1908, Dr Sun Yat Sen went to Singapore from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) to expand the revolution's reach. Wang Zhaoming, Hu Hanmin and others arrived to aid him. They went to various parts of Southeast Asia such as Malaya and Indonesia to publicize the cause. At this point, the Revolutionary Alliance had more than 20 branches with a total membership of more than 3000 people. Southeast Asia had the most number of branches and Nan yang was closest to its Tokyo headquarters. Hence, Dr Sun decided to make Singapore the nerve centre of his Southeast Asian revolutionary activities. Dr Sun wrote to Deng Zeru of Malaya, informing him of the news that Singapore was now the regional headquarters.
During the Second Sino-Japanese war, Lim Bo Seng participated actively in activities organized by the Nan yang Federation to boycott Japanese goods and raise funds for the Chinese army. On 01 February, Lim left Singapore and travelled to Sumatra with other Chinese community leaders and made his way to India later. He recruited and trained hundreds of secret agents through intensive military intelligence missions from China and India. He set up the Sino-British guerrilla task force Force 136 in mid-1942 together with Captain John Davis.
On the 27 February 1949, Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock had struggled of the Chinese community in Malaya, especially in the fields of politics, education and social welfare. Strongly anti-communist, he was also trusted by the British colonial officials. The goal for the foundation of the Malayan Chinese Association was to unite the Chinese population in Malaya.
Lee Kuan Yew signed a separation agreement on 7 August 1965, which discussed Singapore's post-separation relations with Malaysia in order to continue co-operation in areas such as trade and mutual defense.
