The process started in the 1850s. At the time, The Old Harbour at Singapore River was overcrowded. Therefore, there was a new harbour constructed which had deep waters that allowed steamships and sailing ships to sail right up and was sheltered from winds and big waves by 2 islands. Port facilities expanded in the late 19th and early 20th century. Modern machinery started coming to use such as forklifts, cranes and tractors.

Singapore's port facilities stayed relatively the same until the 1850s. There was a need to improve Singapore's port facilities during the 1850s due to the expansion of Singapore's trade and the arrival of steamships. By then, the Old Harbour in Singapore was becoming overcrowded. This was due to there being not enough space for storing goods and not having land to build storehouses for storing coal along with no space for dry houses to fix ships that were damaged along the way to Singapore. They fixed these problems with the New Harbour. This was built in the straits between the southern coast of Singapore and two smaller islands. Pulau Brani and Pulau Blakang Mati. The Harbour had many features which made it better than the Old Harbour. Some of which were it having deepwater, allowing stemamships to sail rioght up to it and it was also sheltered from strong winds and big waves by the islands. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the government set up the Singapore Harbour Board to improve the port further. New wharves, docks, storehouses and machine shops were built. Forklifts, cranes and tractors were introduced for loading and unloading goods. A railway system was also built to link the port to parts of Malaya.

The healthcare in Singapore was very weak. This was caused by there being only 1 or 2 government doctors who looked after soldiers specifically and the few European doctors who even then only served Europeans or rich Asians.

In 1887, they set up the Public Health department to tackle health issues such as Malaria and the "sewage" system. They fixed these by setting up a committe to supervise the draining of swamps and replacing the bucket systern with a modern sewage system. They also improved the living conditions in Chinatown.
