After the partition of India in 1947 many displaced Sikhs from West Punjab, now part of Pakistan, came to Singapore. These Sikhs were primarily from the business community.
Singapore was a British colony then and a commercial Centre for South East Asia. Sikh businessmen from Malaysia and Thailand also came to Singapore to set up trading companies.
Formation of the Sabha and Katong Gurdwara Sahib:
On 26 June 1953 Sri Guru Nanak Sat Sang Sabha was registered. S Hardial Singh Bajaj became the President, S D Labh Singh, the Secretary and S Amir Singh the Treasurer.
Construction of Sabha's Gurdwara
As the congregation increased the need for bigger premises was felt strongly. S Inder Singh Bajaj, on his own initiative purchased, for the use of the Sabha, an old bungalow at 17 Wilkinson Road for $30,000, which was followed by the purchase of the adjoining bungalow at 11, Wilkinson Road.
One bungalow was demolished and on its site a new Gurdwara building was built in 1969, at a cost of $600,000.
