Kolek Racing

I captured this image of Kolek Racing of our Malay community in the sixties. Actually, the Bedok Sports Club celebrated its fourth anniversary with Kolek races as far back as in October 1957 (as reported in the Singapore Free Press). The Siglap Kolek racing was held as far back as 1939 (as reported in The Straits Times). Record shows the Malay Kolek Race started off in fine style in 1928.The Malay Kolek racing is apparently part of our heritage.
