The Indians also had a Tamil school located on the street, and was demolished to construct the Singapore Investment Trust government quarters' building. In the 1950s till the late 1970s, shophouses on this street used to have Chinese funeral requirements, such as wreaths and funeral bands. The sanitation system in most of the shophouses were using the night soil system with honey buckets, until flush toilets were introduced when the shophouses were upgraded and restored.
The Chinese called the street Hai San Street as the secret society bearing the same name was located there. The street was also known as Kling Street (''kling'' is a local reference to Indians) as there was a community of Indian traders living in the area in the early years of modern Singapore.
