Keng Teck Whay 200 years of Brotherhood


(Singapore: Keng Teck Whay, Aug 2023, Total 512 pages)

This publication is the first book about Keng Teck Whay (KTW) since its formation in 1831. Available in English and Chinese editions, the seminal collection of articles draw from primary sources and attempts to analyse KTW according to five aspects - founding background, KTW building, management philosophy, KTW personnel and the chronicles of KTW. Scholars may continue to delve even deeper to fill current gaps in the earliest and still extant Straits-born Chinese association that is directly related to the founding of modern Singapore.
