A Few Posts on Singapore – The Clifford Pier Plaque

Talking of the Fullerton Bay Hotel and the old Clifford Pier – it is not forgotten I’m glad to say even though it is being innovatively used as a hotel now. But back in June 1933 (a hot day as ever in Singapore we can assume) no lesser personage that Sir Cecil Clementi himself (about whom more here), the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Straits Settlements turned up to open the Clifford Pier. The pier, by the way, was named after another colonial administrator Hugh Clifford (more on him here). Both men pictured below and the plaque remembering the pier and the day Sir Cecil opened it.

Sir Cecil in his finest…

Clifford – pretty cool as not many people have had a pier named after them!
