ADDRESS : NO. 64 LEBUH ACHEH

Trishaw riders are commemorated in two different sculptures, `Cannon Hole’ and Beca. `Cannon Hole’ marks the 1867 riots between rival secret societies. One of the most intriguing aspects of these riots is that both sides were multiracial, with the Muslim Red Flag association and the Hokkien Tua Peh Kong Society united against the Muslim White Flag and the Cantonese Ghee Hin.

The most serious riots broke out in August that year 1867 of Lebuh Cannon area. In order to put down this unrest, the alarmed colonial authorities called in reinforcements from Singapore, and cannons were fired near the site of this sculpture, leading to today`s Lebuh Cannon. It is said bullet holes from this time can still be found in the walls of surrounding buildings.
