Govindasamy Pillai first arrived in Singapore in 1905 as a teen. He started work at a provision shop where he was granted food and accommodation in return and learnt the ropes of running a business. In 1929, he returned to Singapore with his young wife and found that the store had been put up for sale after its owner passed away. He borrowed money, bought the store and began selling spices, oils and grains. Soon, he expanded this to a chain of stores and even ventured into textiles, flour and spice mills.

A pious man, Pillai gave the biggest donation to the Sri Perumal Temple when it underwent reconstruction in the early 1960s. He also gave generously to other organisations such as the Gandhi Memorial Hall, Indian Association, Mount Alvernia Hospital and the University of Malaya.

The founding of Singapore as a British trading port in 1819 led to an influx of immigrants from China, India and the Malay Archipelago, who came in search of work opportunities arising from the colony’s rapid growth. People of different trades and socio-economic status arrived, from administrators and merchants, to peddlers and labourers.

A large number of migrants from China and India arrived as labourers, providing the much-needed labour in building construction, agriculture, shipping and other industries on the island. Others came as merchants, shopkeepers and moneylenders. Among the indigenous Malays and their fellows from the region, many worked as fishermen, farmers, artisans, traders, and more.
