Bendemeer Road, Singapore (26 July 2017)
Bendemeer Road is one of the main roads in
Kallang. Today Bendemeer Road is a one-way road with traffic flowing from north to south. It starts at the intersection with Jalan Toa Payoh, from
MacPherson Road in the north, and ends at the intersection with
Lavender Street, continuing as
Jalan Besar. This is to compliment nearby
Serangoon Road, where traffic is on the opposite direction.
Bendemeer Road got its name from the house of pepper and gambier trader Seah Liang Seah (1850-1924) called Bendemeer House, which was orignally built by
Hoo Ah Kay aka Mr Whampoa (1816-84), the first Chinese Legislative Councillor of Singapore, of which Seah Liang Seah was his successor.
