Empress Entertainment Centre was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 09 September 2011 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Clementi, Singapore. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here. |
The contents of the Clementi New Town page were merged into Clementi, Singapore on 2011-11-07. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
Some minor corrections have been done to the text and in addition, set the name for Clementi in Malay as "Clementi" as it is a name. Also, "Yusof Ishak Secondary School" has been removed since the school has since moved to Bukit Batok. Added though are National University of Singapore, NUS High School and the 3 Japanese schools. Also added information about a temporary interchange. Reference to "Commonwealth Ave" has been changed to "Commonwealth Ave West". Please take note that the previous reference to "Commonwealth Ave" is to a foreign street of the same name. -- fauzi 20:04, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Is it possible to merge Clementi, Singapore with Clementi New Town? They seem alike and it would be confusing. -- fauzi 01:49, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Could we also have someone look into the history of the original Clementi Primary School I and II? I studied there till the end of 1963 (Pri 6A). I am still in touch with some of my old classmates. (J Idiculas, Sydney Australia).
Instead of reverting, please discuss here. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 16:17, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Let me summarise my observations here:-
To conclude, it is time to have a rethink and to resolve the dispute. The relevant entries in Wikipedia should also stop maintaining the factually flawed conclusion that the road and the area were named after Smith. -- Clithering ( talk) 16:45, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Some more stuff I managed to look up
In any case, I will try to obtain Dunlop's book and see what it says. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 11:51, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
(outdenting, sorry) Hey
Clithering. I managed to ask a friend to look up Dunlop's book. Here's an extract: It has been suggested that this road, like Smith and Cecil streets, was named after Governor Sir Cecil Clementi Smith. Maps show however that what is now Clementi road was named Reformatory road as late as 1920s. It is therefore probable that Clementi Road was actually named after Sir Cecil Clementi, who was the governor of Straits Settlements from 1930-33. Sir Cecil Clementi has previously served as Governor of Hong Kong and instigated the construction of Kallang Airport
. I changed the text in the article to say what is "generally accepted" and what is "possible", rather than mention that it was named after Cecil Clementi Smith. I will try to look up the source for Brenda Yeoh's book next. Thank you for your suggestion about the Rural Board records. That can help to set the record straight. Let me see if I can find a way to access them. --

Hi all. I have updated the 'Recreation' section to mention the closure and demolition of West Coast Recreation Centre. I have also added details about the West Coast Recreation Centre when it was operating, such as mentioning iconic attractions that it used to house.
I think that these details are important, as the West Coast Recreation Centre, and the attractions it housed, were very popular during its time. Many people do reminisce the time spent there, and some people may not even be aware that it has ceased operations, so cataloguing the history of the building and its attractions can be informative to those who were unaware, and serve as valuable information to those who had frequented it in the past.
Please do take a look at what I have added, and feel free to add in any information or even photos you might have, and/or clean up any phrasing. Thank you. -- Sentimex ( talk) 05:56, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
