Gang Singapore 新加坡路 in Pinkong (Pangkal Pinang) Bangka Indonesia 印度尼西亚 邦加 槟港

Gang Singapore 新加坡路 means Singapore Street.Why like that? At least there are 2 opinions come up. First, at that time most of the big merchants frequently travel to singapore 新加坡. Buying what they need and bring back to Bangka 邦加. They buy many things, such as food stuff, houseware, fashion, jewellary, etc. Second, the name is to honor singapore 新加坡 as a crucial hub of trading. Bangka’s merchants sell commodities,  like tin products, latex and pepper berry, on the other hand singapore’s merchants sell consumer goods.

The characteristic of Gang Singapore 新加坡路 in the early of year 1900,
#1 Chinese community , consist Hakka 客家 , Teo Chiu and Hokkian.
#2 Merchant’s Area, whole sellers and dealers.
#3 Mandarin language usually find here, where other places use Hakka language, Hak Fa 客家话.

This place is popular in the early of 20^th century or earlier. If bangka people 邦加人 want to buy high quality, imported and special goods, they may come to this Singapore Street 新加坡路. During the Dutch Colony and Japan  Invasion, this area also well known to Bangka people 邦加人.  Now a days,  Gang Singapore 新加坡路 is not so famous as it used to be. It is still shining  but no so bright as in the past. Not so many activities anymore, as we can imagine  many bycicles across and pedestrians walk.

Bangka 邦加 has changed so has Gang Singapore 新加坡路, in my opinion, Gang Singapore 新加坡路 can be as shine as before.  If the local economy grows, the domestic investment will touch it or if the government development programs enlist it, than some attractive changes will happen. In my last visit on november 2009, there is a new 4 stories red chinese-style building . actually it is a marketing office of Bangka Trade Center (BTC) 邦加 贸易 中心.  Bangka Trade Center (BTC) 邦加 贸易 中心  is still underway to be the iconic building in Bangka Belitung 邦加 勿里洞. The biggest mall ever built. Why Bangka Trade Center (BTC)  邦加 贸易 中心  Marketing Office is placed in Gang Singapore 新加坡路? If not because of its historical images. Perhaps also its next opportunities.
