First Objection To The Naming of Joo Chiat Road

Most residents who had been living in the area for a long time was unhappy that Confederate Estates Road had been changed to Joo Chiat Road. A resident then wrote to the press (ST 29 March 1917).

In the early 20th century Chew Joo Chiat already owned a vast piece of land in the area for his coconut plantations. The Little Family was then dividing their lands and sold them away in small freehold lots for building houses. Chew increased his land banks by purchasing some of them and later owned the dirt road as well. In 1916 the Municipality wanted to build a proper road suitable for motor cars from Geylang Serai all the way to the beach where many wealthy people had their holidays houses by the sea. There was no land acquisition law then. The Municipality had to buy land from the land owner, Chew Joo Chiat for the purpose. Chew did not want to sell his land but he saw the benefit of a road infra structure going through his coconut estates. He bequeathed the land to the authority. In 1917 a proper road for motor vehicles was constructed. The road was renamed Joo Chiat Road after Chew Joo Chiat for his generosity.

Second Objection To The Naming of Joo Chiat Road
On 6 October 1948 a person using a pseodonym 'New Gap' wrote to the press as shown below.

Comparing the two complaints, the first appeared sincere but the second had an axe to grind. His remark " who or what was Joo Chiat anyway" showed his true colour.

Joo Chiat is 100% Hokkien as usual ok ?
 
Petain Road can change name to Siok Bin Road.
All the old whores gather there and sell cheebye, the entrance can put Very Kind Lady's cheebye head there.

Chew Joo Chiat (周如切, 1857–1926), also known as the “King of Katong”, owned several parcels of land in the Joo Chiat and Katong districts. In the 19th century, land prices in these districts had been cheap as the areas were undeveloped. After World War I, more people bought land in Joo Chiat and Katong and developed them into coconut plantations. Land prices soared after the nearby Geylang area became a business district. During this time, Chew sold off his land and made a fortune. For his contributions to the local community, several places were eventually named after him, such as Joo Chiat Road, Joo Chiat Street, Joo Chiat Avenue, Joo Chiat Place, Joo Chiat Terrace, Joo Chiat Lane and the Joo Chiat district itself. It was recorded that Chew had donated $100 when the Tou Mu Temple was built. He passed away in February 1926.
