Chulia Street is the name of a road in the Downtown Core area of Singapore that runs from an end of South Canal Road. During colonial times, it was part of a settlement of the Chulias, a group of Indian Muslim workers from South India who inhabited the area. It was also a popular tourist attraction due to the rows of two-storey Indian shophouses on either side of the road, which were all demolished in the early 1980s to make way for the industrial business developments in the area. The current UOB Plaza and OCBC Centre were built along Chulia Street in the 1970s. The only form of public transportation for the road is via the Raffles Place MRT station, which has exits located across the road.
Currently, Chulia Street is no longer a tourist destination and is part of the central business district of Singapore. Before the industrialization, Chulia Street was a commercial hub for knife makers, as well as moneylender agencies. Aside from mercantility, there are also places of worship located along Chulia Street. There is a Chinese temple, Yueh Hai Ching Temple, as well as a mosque, Masjid Moulana Mohamed Ali. The latter is located underneath the UOB Plaza and was established there in 1994 to replace an older mosque affected by the demolition of the shophouses along Chulia Street.
The name of Chulia Street dates back to 1921. Before that, it was known as Kling Street, until Hafeezudin Sirajuddin Moonshi requested that the name of the road be changed to Chulia Street.
