Caseen Street is a minor street in the Robertson Quay subzone of the Singapore River Planning Area, in Singapore. The road is closed to traffic. The street used to run all the way to the Singapore River, but today, a small stretch is pedestrianised.
According to Singapore Street Names1, the street was given its name in 1898, though originally the spelling was Kasseen. There is no explanation as to the etymology of this name. What;s in the Name?2 likewise mentions that the street was named in 1898, and goes on to mention two other variants to the name, Casseen and Kasseen, but likewise could not offer an explanation whom it was named after.
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.
