Final Conclusion : Living conditions and Culture & Religion of Chinese in Singapore during colonial times

Conclusion: After gathering the data, we can conclude that Chinese culture and religions are of religious purposes such as of offering the gods from Source A as of the temple they built. Furthermore, there is the celebration of Chinese New Year etc as seen from Source B to accustom to the previous Chinese lifestyle. Lastly, there is Source C which includes women who tied their hair up into buns and to take oath to not marry for the rest of their lives. ( Religion & Culture )

After gathering data from all sorts of sources, we can conclude that the condition of Singapore before WW2 was squalid. As seen from Source A, the immigrants there had contracted diseases which were most probably due to unsuitable living conditions in their area. To add on, Source B shows how the immigrants worked barefooted under the scorching hot sun to earn a living . Lastly , source C shows a situation where the immigrant had to use dirty water because they have no choice to do so or that they were too poor to afford . Through these evidence , we are therefore able to conclude that Chinese immigrant lead a hard life before WW2. ( Living conditions )
