Initially the location of Chinese-owned gambier plantations, the hill was first called Mount Stamford, after Sir Stamford Raffles. Its current name is taken from Captain James Pearl, owner and commander of the Indiana, the ship in which Raffles sailed from Penang in January 1819 on the expedition that culminated in the founding of Singapore. Colonial institutional buildings located here have included the Seamen’s Hospital (predecessor of the Singapore General Hospital), the first Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Outram Prison (also known as H. M. Jail), and the Upper and Lower Barracks of the Sikh contingent of the Straits Settlements Police.[Pearl's Hill] -- History -- Key features -- Variant names -- References.Street names--SingaporeHills {18337794}|Streets and Places {18336099}engNLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore InfopediaArticle {18335714}NAThe information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

She was Singapore’s Woman of the Year in 1999, and a former nominated member of parliament. Married to Ho Kwon Ping, president of the Wah Chang/Thai Wah group of companies, she is executive director of Banyan Tree Gallery. Her business acumen led her to break the long-standing tradition of an all-male Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, when she became one of the first two women to be admitted to the organisation in 1995. Notwithstanding her achievements, Chiang remains down-to-earth. She actively advocates for women’s rights, family life and the disadvantaged in society.[Claire Chiang] -- Early life -- Career -- Contributions to society -- Timeline -- Family -- References.Chiang, Claire, 1951-|Businesswomen--Singapore--Biography|Women politicians--Singapore--BiographyPersonalities {18336114}engNLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore InfopediaArticle {18335714}NAThe information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
