Singapore Road Names

- "Uncle, Kim Seng Road please." -

In our car journeys travelling along the roads of Singapore, we would have wondered,

“Why is this road named as such?”

“Is it a person’s name?”

“Who is this person?”

“What did he do that so a road could be named after him/her?”

In the subsequent entries, let’s explore some of Singapore’s busiest roads near the City.
