Abstract

Prior to the 1911 Revolution, Dr. Sun Yat Sen (1866-1925) visited Singapore on nine occasions. During these visits, he stayed at Wanqingyuan, a luxurious private bungalow where he set up the Singapore branch of the Tong Meng Hui (TMH) to expand his revolutionary movement and plotted several uprisings in China. Wanqingyuan was regarded as one of the important historical venues for Dr. Sun’s revolutionary base in Southest Asia and his residence on his visits to Singapore. This paper examines how the Chinese community reacted to Sun’s revolutionary cause during his sojourn in Singapore.
