About The Tanglin Club
The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the advent of steamers resulted in a travel revolution. The small port founded by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, developed into a thriving trading centre, and the everyday life of the British settlement had become more sophisticated, and exclusively European.

Philosophy
How they teach
It is not known how the name ‘Tanglin’ originated but as there are many places in Malaysia named after trees, it is possible that the Tanglin Club was named after the Saraca Tree aka ‘Tanglin Tree’. A commemorative Tanglin Tree was planted in the grounds of the present clubhouse in 1990 to mark the Club’s 125th anniversary.
