A Brief History
8 February 1837
The Singapore Chamber of Commerce was founded by a small group of British merchants based in the then Settlement of Singapore. They came together to stand up for their businesses and for Singapore. Their collaboration saved Singapore’s free port status, paving the way for the longest period of sustained development and population growth in the island’s long history.
