More About Chinese Chess in Early Singapore

In the early days, it was common to see 2 players huddled over a game at market areas and common spaces, with onlookers standing nearby and observing.

Although Chinese Chess is still played today, it is fast dying out as a casual pastime and is usually played only by old folks who still remember it from the old days. There are, however, interest groups and professional clubs that still actively try to pass on the tradition amongst the younger generation.
