Aw Boon Haw
Aw Boon-Haw (Chinese: 胡文虎; pinyin: Hú Wénhǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ô͘ Bûn-hó͘; 1882 in Rangoon, British Burma – 1954 in Hawaii), OBE, was a Burmese Chinese entrepreneur and philanthropist best known as founder of Tiger Balm. He was a son of Hakka herbalist Aw Chu-Kin, with his ancestral home in Yongding County, Fujian Province, China.
Career
In 1926, Aw migrated to Malaysia,[citation needed] where he began the business of Tiger Red Balm with his brother, Aw Boon-Par. Aw also founded several newspapers, including Sin Chew Jit Poh in Singapore and Sin Pin Jit Poh in Penang (both currently based in Malaysia); and Sing Tao Daily (which dates back to 1938 and is currently based in Hong Kong). Aw moved to Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation of Singapore[citation needed] and managed the business from there, while his brother stayed in Singapore until he closed down the factory and went to Rangoon. Aw returned to Singapore[citation needed] after the end of World War II and re-established his business.
Hakka community
The Hakka community is the fourth-largest Chinese dialect group in Singapore. According to the 2010 Singapore census, the Hakkas made up about 8 percent of the Chinese resident population.1 Originating from southern China, the Hakkas were already in Singapore by the early 19th century.2 A famous Singapore-born Hakka was the late Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, who is credited as instrumental in transforming Singapore from third-world country to a thriving metropolis.3
Background
At the time of Singapore’s founding in 1819, there were only about 30 Chinese among a population of 150. By 1827, the Chinese had become the largest group of inhabitants, outnumbering even the Malays. The Chinese population, by 1840, was large enough for at least four dialect groups to be identified, and the Hakka was one of them.4
The ancestors of the Hakkas originated from the provinces of Henan and Shanxi in north China, migrating south during the Yuan (1279–1368) and Ming (1368–1644) dynasties. The name “Hakka”, or Khek, which the community is also known as, literally means “guest people”.5 They were associated with this name during the Ming dynasty when the provinces where they finally settled in classified them as “guest inhabitants” to distinguish them from the local residents.6 Their migration to Singapore was an extension of their southward movement within China, which had resulted in large populations of Hakkas in the southern provinces of Fujian and Guangdong.7
The community in Singapore was once concentrated in areas like South Bridge Road, North Bridge Road and Lorong Tai Seng (in Paya Lebar). However, like the other Chinese dialect groups, they are now spread all over the island.8
Trades
The Hakka immigrants were involved in agriculture when they first arrived in Singapore, especially in the cultivation of pepper and gambier.9 They also ventured into, and later dominated, the Chinese medicine business. It has been said that in the 1920s, the largest Chinese medicine halls were owned by Hakkas.10 A famous Hakka in the Chinese medicine business was the late Aw Boon Haw, an eminent philanthropist and community leader who was also known as the “Tiger Balm King”, after the brand of Chinese medicated balm that he founded together with his brother Aw Boon Par.11
Another trade in which the Hakkas dominated was pawn broking. A Hakka by the name of Lan Qiushan (蓝秋山) is considered a pioneer in the local pawn broking industry. In 1872, Lan set up a pawn broking business with his friend at Silat Road. The Hakkas continued to dominate the industry in the 20th century, mainly because of the preference towards Hakkas when existing operators chose their business partners and employees, and the fact that their network consisted primarily of the Hakkas.12
Hakka women are noted for their resilience and independent nature.13 In the early days, many Hakka women worked in construction sites and wore head gear similar to those of the samsui women. However, unlike the samsui women who wore red head gear, the Hakka women wore head gear in blue or grey colours or with floral patterns.14
Temples and associations
The Fook Tet Soo Khek Temple, built by the first Hakka immigrants for the deity Tua Pek Kong, is believed to have existed since the founding of Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819.15 This makes it possibly the oldest Taoist temple here. Better known as the Wang Hai Da Bo Gong Miao (望海大伯公庙), it is located at the foot of the former Mount Palmer off Shenton Way.16 Another early temple built by the Hakkas was the Fuk Tak Chi Temple (福德祠) at Telok Ayer Street. This was established together with the Cantonese community in the early 1820s and was also dedicated to Tua Pek Kong.17 It has since been converted into a museum.18
One of the oldest Hakka clan associations in Singapore is Ying Fo Fui Kun (应和会馆), established in 1822.19 Ying Fo Fui Kun began as a temple serving the needs of Hakka immigrants, but its founder Liu Runde (刘润德) had envisaged it as a public institution that would not only provide welfare services – the conventional role of a clan association – but also act as a kinship bridge between Hakka communities in Singapore and China.20
Ying Fo Fui Kun looked after the welfare of its members, including making funeral arrangements for deceased members.21 In 1905, it opened the Yin Sin School, which was then considered a modern Chinese school, to provide education for the children.22 The clan house has undergone major renovations several times, but has remained at its original site in Telok Ayer. It was restored extensively from 1997 to 1998 and gazetted as a national monument in 1998.23 The house features inscriptions and carvings from the 19th century; the oldest artefact which can be dated is an 1841 inscribed couplet.24 In 2010, it was reported that the building was affected by the construction of the Mass Rapid Transit’s Downtown Line, and cracks on the building were visible.25 The building was closed in 2013 for repair works and scheduled to re-open as a free public gallery in 2016.26
Practices
Hakka dishes traditionally reflect the lifestyle of the ancestors. Being migrants, they were constantly on the move, so they used salt to preserve their food, hence salt features strongly in Hakka dishes.27 An example of such a dish is salt-baked chicken.28 Rice wine is another common ingredient in Hakka food. Rice wine was a popular beverage of the community in ancient days as it helped them fight the cold of the north. Hakka cuisine also features many meat dishes. This reflects the farming background of many Hakkas, who ate a lot of meat to provide nourishment and bolster their strength for the back-breaking farm work.29
Certain dishes are specific to the province that the Hakka immigrants came from. For example, suan pan zi (算盘子) or “abacus seeds” – a dish consisting of flattened pieces of yam fried with tiny pieces of shrimp, mushrooms, bean curd strips and minced pork – originated from Dapu in southeast China.30 This and other traditional Hakka dishes would often be served at the Chinese New Year reunion dinner.31
The dish yong tau fu (酿豆腐), in particular, is a staple reunion dinner dish. This is because the ancestors of the Hakkas came from north China, where dumplings were often served during Chinese New Year. Upon migrating to south China where wheat was not grown, they could not produce flour to make dumplings. Thus, they made yong tau fu as a replacement.3
