About the SCCCI Chinese Business Culture Hub (SCBCH):

The SCBCH is set up by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) in September 2022 at Level 4 of the SCCCI Building to promote national education and strengthen the national identity of Singapore.

Over the past century, the Chamber had witnessed the independence of Singapore and other historical developments. Through the display of various artefacts and interactive multimedia, the SCBCH exhibits the history of the Chamber and illustrates the story of the SCCCI Chinese Entrepreneurial Spirit.
