同安人和驳船业
- 访同安会馆副康乐林平仲
停在克拉码头、现改为餐馆用途的大型驳船，你是否曾在上头用餐？又或者你是否留意过？类似的驳船或艟舼，其实和同安人很有关系。不少当年从中国南来的同安人，就是靠驳船维生。
曾从事驳船业的同安会馆副康乐林平仲，也是宝兴联谊会的总务。这个在2002年注册的社团，前身是拥有百多年历史的宝兴估俚（苦力）间，也称宝兴理学堂。
Have you ever noticed those tongkangs anchored at Clarke Quay serving as floating restaurants? Or have you ever had your meal on one of those tongkangs? These boats were closely linked to the lives of immigrants from TongAn county, a Hokkien province.
Mr Lim Peng Tong, the Deputy Head of Leisure and Entertainment of Tung Ann District Guild is also the Honorary Secretary of Bao Xing Friendship Association. The association, registered in 2002, used to be a more-than-century-old lightermen shelter called Bao Xing Ku Li Jian, which also housed the Bao Xing Temple. |

Welcome to Singapore Tung Ann District Guild |

欢迎来到同安会馆 同安会馆成立于1931年5月31日。创办人为陈延谦、林金殿、洪镜湖、陈文确、颜世芳等人。当时负责人以三万元购置位于丝丝街167号，楼高三层的会所，作为乡亲聚集活动的场地。早期会馆的活动主要是为乡亲排忧解难，介绍工作，促进互助。
Tung Ann District Guild or TADG was set up on 31 May 1931 by founders such as Mr Chen Yan Qian, Mr Lin Jin Dian, Mr Hong Jin Hu, Mr Chen Wen Que, Mr Yan Shi Fang. At that time, TADG acquired its 3-storey building at 167 Cecil Street with $30,000.
