由来
  • 建于 1825 年的老巴刹原称为直落亚逸巴刹（Telok Ayer Market）。“巴刹” 音译自马来语的 pasar，指菜市场。
  • 老巴刹是新加坡的第一座巴刹。这座巴刹是莱佛士爵士（Sir Stamford Raffles）于 1822 年谕令建造，并由新加坡首位驻扎官法夸尔（William Farquhar）选址，设在直落亚逸弯（Telok Ayer Basin），当时只是一座简单的木制建筑。
  • 1834 年，直落亚逸巴刹在原地重建为砖砌建筑。这座砖砌建筑由著名建筑师克里门（George Coleman）设计，整体设计中以维多利亚式的八角形屋顶闻名。
  • 1845 年，英国殖民地政府在哥里门桥（Coleman Bridge）沿河一带建起了爱伦坡巴刹（Ellenborough Market），是新加坡的第二座巴刹。人们将这座巴刹俗称为 “新巴刹”，并将直落亚逸巴刹俗称为 “老巴刹”（俗称 lau pa sat）。
  • 1879 年，老巴刹因填土计划而再次关闭，直到 1894 年才搬迁到哥烈码头（Collyer Quay）的新填土地段重新开业，直到今天。负责重建老巴刹的工程师麦里芝（James MacRitchie）保留了八角形屋顶设计。
  • 老巴刹原本是个菜市场及小贩中心，但自 1970 年代起便停止售卖蔬果肉类，遂成为一个只售卖熟食的小贩中心。
  • 老巴刹于 1973 年列为国家古迹。
  • 1985 年，老巴刹因地铁隧道工程及建筑结构出现问题而被拆除，直到 1989 年才在原址修复重建，并于 1992 年重新开业。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Built in 1825, Lau Pa Sat was originally known as Telok Ayer Market. The Mandarin term “巴刹” is the transliteration of the Malay term pasar, which refers to a market.
  • Lau Pa Sat is Singapore’s first market and was built in 1822 by the order of Sir Stamford Raffles. Its location at Telok Ayer Basin was chosen by William Farquhar, Singapore’s first Resident and Commandant. At that time, Lau Pa Sat was only a simple timber building.
  • In 1834, Telok Ayer Market was rebuilt at the same location as a brick building, which was designed by renowned architect George Coleman. The overall design was known for its Victorian-style octagonal roof.
  • In 1845, the British colonial government built Singapore’s second market, known as Ellenborough Market, along the river near Coleman Bridge. The people referred it colloquially as “新巴刹” (meaning “new market”) and Telok Ayer Market as “老巴刹” (meaning “old market”, colloquially known as lau pa sat).
  • Lau Pa Sat was closed again in 1879 due to land reclamation projects and was relocated to the new reclaimed land at Collyer Quay in 1894, where it remains till today. The engineer responsible for rebuilding Lau Pa Sat, James MacRitchie, retained the octagonal roof design.
  • Lau Pa Sat was originally a wet market and hawker centre. However, since the 1970s, it stopped selling vegetable, fruit, and meat items, becoming a hawker centre that only sells cooked food.
  • Lau Pa Sat was listed as a national monument in 1973.
  • In 1985, Lau Pa Sat was demolished due to the construction of MRT tunnels. It was rebuilt at the original site in 1989 and reopened in 1992.
