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.1
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
