Named after the second governor of Singapore after it fell under British rule
, Clarke Quay played an important part in Singapores past when it was still trying to establish itself as the center of trade in Asia. With an array of foreign influences ranging from Indian to Chinese, the diverse city of Singapore stands tall today as one of the most favored tourist hotspots in Asia.
Building on its reputation as a commercial stronghold in the region, Clarke Quay was developing at an alarming pace which led to the deterioration of this important venue as a center of trade. The Singapore River that gave life to this area was being polluted by the increasing number of trading vessels that came in. Realizing quick action was to be taken to preserve this site; the Singaporean Government came to the decision that relocation of the port was the only way to save it. This is when Pasir Panjang was named as the main trading port of Singapore. Since being cleaned up and restored, Clarke Quay is now seen as a flourishing residential, commercial and entertainment zone that attracts thousands of travellers each year.
Armed with a new lease of life Clarke Quay was destined to make a massive comeback. The once busy waterways of Clarke Quay have come alive once again.
