Seah Liang Seah (b. 1850, Singapore&d. 14 September 1925, Singapore) was a wealthy local-born Chinese merchant who was known for being the Chinese representative on the Straits Settlements Legislative Council.1 He was a keen proponent of British rule and co-founded the pro-British
(SCBA).2Early lifeSeah was the second son of Teochew tycoon . He received a bilingual education, learning Chinese at home under a private tutor while studying English at St Joseph&s Institution.3 He first joined his father&s company, Eu Chin and Co., as a secretary and later took over the management of the family&s trading business. Seah also jointly owned a pineapple processing factory that produced pineapples sold under the Lion brand. The factory was later wholly bought over by Seah, who consolidated it under his firm Chin Giap & Co.4Public serviceUpon the death of his brother Cheo Seah in 1885, Seah succeeded him as chairman of , which had been founded by his father as a welfare organisation for the .5In 1883, Seah was nominated by Governor Frederick Weld as a member of the Legislative Council, becoming the second Chinese member appointed after
(popularly known as Whampoa).6 Seah served his first term until 1890 when he resigned due to ill health and disagreements with other members of the council.7 In that same year, Seah was appointed as one of the Teochew representatives for the newly formed Chinese Advisory Board, which aimed to look after the interests of the Chinese community.8In 1894, Seah was reappointed to the Legislative Council for a second term but resigned again in January 1895 to protest against a tax imposed by the British government to increase the Straits Settlements& contributions towards British military expenditure.9 However, owing to his experience, Seah continued to be appointed occasionally as a temporary member of the council to stand-in for members who were absent on leave. During this period, Seah was also a member of the Municipal Commission, which oversaw public works in Singapore.10 He resigned from the Commission in 1897.11Seah was a charitable man who donated to many causes in his lifetime. In 1889, he gave 400 silver taels to a drought relief fund in central China. He also donated to other funds such as the Prince of Wales War Relief Fund in 1914 and the King George&s Fund for Sailors in 1918.12Loyal British subjectA British subject by birth, Seah was a staunch supporter of British rule. At the 50th anniversary celebrations of Queen Victoria&s reign in 1887, Seah recited the congratulatory address on behalf of the Chinese community in Singapore.13 He also initiated the plan to commission a statue of Queen Victoria. The statue was completed two years later and erected in Government House (now the ).14 When the Queen died in 1901, Seah interrupted a
(a Malay word meaning &a theatrical performance employing puppets or human dancers&) at a wedding that he was attending to mourn the occasion.15Seah was one of the key organisers of the King Edward VII Memorial Fund established in 1910 to commemorate the reign of the English monarch. Proceeds from this fund were later donated to the Straits and Federated Malay States Government Medical School. The school was renamed the King Edward VII Medical School in 1913 and then
in 1921 (now the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, part of the ).In August 1900, Seah, together with other prominent Straits Chinese such as
and , founded the SCBA, which aimed to promote loyalty among the Straits Chinese towards the British Empire.16 Seah also contributed articles on various topics to The Straits Chinese Magazine, a periodical established in 1897 by members of the association.Personal lifeFirst married at the age of 17, Seah eventually had three wives who bore him six sons and six daughters. His third son, Eng Tong, took over the leadership of
in the mid-1920s and was later appointed a Justice of the Peace.After the death of Whampoa, Seah purchased the former&s old residence, one of the most prominent landmarks in 19th-century Singapore, in 1895. Seah moved into the mansion and renamed it .17 Seah hosted many dignitaries during their visits to Singapore, among them the Chinese viceroy Li Hongzhang.18 He also organised garden parties in his home, which were attended by luminaries such as the governor and other members of the colonial bureaucracy.19Later life and legacySeah passed away in 1925.20 His funeral was well attended by both Chinese and European dignitaries, with the last rites performed by Buddhist priests specially engaged from Siam (now Thailand). He was buried at the family burial ground along Thomson Road.21Seah&s will caused much controversy and led to multiple lawsuits among his descendants owing to its unusual provisions. It specified that his estate was not to be distributed until 21 years after the death of English monarch King George V&s last surviving child. In the interim, Seah had three of his sons designated as trustees of his estate. It was only in 1996 that his estate was finally distributed, with Seah&s surviving male descendants sharing the bulk of his S$13 million fortune.22Seah&s name remains memorialised through , a road constructed in 1926 that links
