Tua Jia Ka
Tua Jia Ka, alternatively spelled Tua Jia Kar, is a commemorative replica of a former well in the Somapah Serangoon Village, which was also known as Tua Jia Ka. It is situated in Kovan, Singapore, and occupies the former site of the village.[1]
History
The structure was introduced in 1998 as part of the upgrading of the Hougang Street 21 Neighbourhood Centre, which was renamed Kovan City. The well is about 2.5 metres in diameter and similar in size to the original. It was placed on the former site of the Somapah Serangoon Village, which was also known as Tua Jia Ka. A granite tablet, which was installed on the structure, describes the history of the village.[2][3][4]
