The Bugis merchants settled in Singapore at around 1819. They occupied an area that extended from Kampong Glam to the mouth of Rochor river.

To encourage them to settle down in Singapore, Stamford rafflesa laid out a Bugis town!

Bras brasah means wet rice in Malay.

In the early days, boats carrying sacks of rice would unload people would dry them along the banks of sungi brass brasah.

The rice would always get wet and hence they named the place brass Basah.
