Early in the nineteenth century, the Sinhala people left the shores of Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon) and set sail to all parts of the globe. Singapore had its fair share of the merchants, traders, adventurers and others setting up camp, looking for that pot of Gold at Rainbow’s end. Many did find that pot of Gold. Then there were others who did not. Whatever fruits they reaped of their labour, memories of the homeland never faded with the passage of time. The natural desire for the company of a fellow Sinhala, and the comfort felt in each other’s proximity led to the formation of an association of stronger bonds. Especially to help each other and to look out for each other. Thus, in the late 1920s began the Singapore Sinhala Association. |
