The Municipal Commission of Singapore was a body created in 1887 by the British colonial government to replace the Municipal Committee that was created in June 1848.[1]
The role of the commission was to manage key services for the Town of Singapore, such as utilities, water services and urban planning.[2]
The body had commission board members internally elected but ceased from 1913 until 1949, after which it acted like a quasi-municipal government until the City Council of Singapore was created in 1951.[2]
