High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Seow Poh Leng, a prominent Baba, the second son of Seow Chye Watt and one of the first few Peranakans at Emerald Hill, was a prominent and successful Singaporean banker, founding member of the Ho Hong Bank, member of the committee of the Straits Settlement (Settlement of Singapore) famous philanthropist and benefactor of public development works. He was a strong advocate of limited liability trading and promoted the advantages of the Limited Liability Company system. Seow Poh Leng, the second son of Seow Chye Watt, came from humble beginnings. Seow Poh Leng spent two years in a Chinese school and was then sent to Eastern school and finished his schooling at the Anglo-Chinese School. After passing his Senior Cambridge examinations at the Anglo-Chinese School, he decided to become a teacher. He competed for The Queen's Scholarships in 1902. Although he stood high among the candidates, he failed to win the much-coveted prize, and attributed his failure to the fact that he had to divide his time between his duties as a pupil teacher and preparing for the examinations.
