Tan Kah Kee
In 2006, in collaboration with the Tan Kah Kee Foundation, the club underwent a S$2.5 million (US$1.85 million) reconstruction works in order to preserve the century-old historic building. On 9 November 2008, the club was officially reopened by Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam with a new memorial hall to honour Tan Kah Kee and other early Chinese community leaders. The new hall is named "Xian Xian Guan" (The Pioneers' Memorial Hall) and is located on the club's ground floor. It contains exhibits such as a wax figure of Tan Kah Kee, old photographs, and interactive multimedia facilities. The second floor is used for social functions, and the third floor continues to house the social club. The memorial hall is open by appointment to the public, in particular to schools and tourist groups from China and Taiwan. The club house and other places related to Tan are included as part of the heritage trails and guided tours around Singapore.
