Jalan Bukit Merah, Singapore


Jalan Bukit Merah is a major road in Bukit Merah, Singapore. It connects Queensway in the west, at the intersection of Alexandra Road, to Kampong Bahru Road in the east. In between, it forms junctions and intersections with Bukit Merah Lane 4, Jalan Kilang Barat, Jalan Kilang Timor, Hoy Fatt Road, Redhill Close, Bukit Merah Central, Henderson Road, Bukit Merah View, Lower Delta Road, Jalan Membina, Kim Tian Road, Central Expressway at the Bukit Merah Flyover, College Road and Hospital Drive.

Jalan Bukit Merah is named after a hill of that name. Bukit Merah means "red hill", and hence the neighbourhood is also called Redhill. This place is associated with the Malay legend of the giant swordfish that would spring out of the sea to spear the population. This swordfish attack was eventually overcome when a young boy suggested building a palisade of banana trunks along the coast, preventing the swordfish from penetrating into the village.

About this website

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.
