The Jiak Kim Bridge (Chinese: 若锦桥; pinyin: Ruò jǐn qiáo) is a pedestrian bridge in Singapore. The bridge spans the Singapore River near Robertson Quay. Constructed in 1999, it was named after Tan Jiak Kim (Chinese: 陈若锦; pinyin: Chén Ruò Jǐn), grandson of famous merchant and philanthropist Tan Kim Seng and son of Tan Beng Swee (Chinese: 陈明水; pinyin: Chén Míng Shuǐ).[1] He is also a prominent Straits-born Chinese merchant and political activist during the early 19th century.
