The building is still there. There was a major bank-run on Chung Kiaw bank in the early 1960s and as a result United Chinese Bank (now UOB Bank) under the Wee family took over. This bank run is not the same as the bank-run on UOB in 1974. UOB opened a branch in Eng Hoon Street (facing the coffee shop) and open-air badminton court to replace the Chung Kiaw Bank branch at Seng Poh Road/Outram Road in 1972. Today there is no branch but the place sells eggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360583188844510356.post-52620178604366611962008-06-29T08:54:00.000+08:002008-06-29T08:54:00.000+08:00I'm not too sure about about this being a bank pre...I'm not too sure about about this being a bank previously.<BR/><BR/>I do remember a bank at the building that is opposite Tan Tock Seng's grave (Behind the Link Hotel and next to Cape Inn)<BR/><BR/>My uncle started work at that bank after graduating from NUS.
