| The Singapore
Kerala Association is the focal point for Singapore Malayalees - an association that gives
them reason to be proud of their heritage while continuing to be relevant to their
changing aspirations. In 1917, a group of malayalee immigrants
living and working in Singapore formed a samajam to send a greeting message to the
Travancore Maharaja Sree Moolam Thirunal on his 60th birthday celebration .The association
was named "Keraleeya Mahajana Sangham".In 1933 the samajam was renamed as the
"Singapore Malayalee Association". In 1961 the name was changed to Singapore
Kerala Asociation(SKA). |
