In this episode of Mind Your Business, we take a closer look at one of Singapore’s liveliest neighbourhoods, Katong-Joo Chiat, a melting pot of tradition and modernity.

Family businesses and quaint shophouses sit alongside cool cafes, hip boutiques and specialty stores.

As with many businesses, who are still reeling from the after-effects of the pandemic, an association has recently been launched to champion the interests and welfare of businesses nestled in the culturally rich precincts.

Nanny Eliana, Chairperson, Katong-Joo Chiat Business Association (KJCBA) & Edmond Wong, third generation owner, Kim Choo Kueh Chang share the challenges faced by the businesses in the area, the main purpose of the launch of the KJCBA, upcoming initiatives and more.
