Kallang River, where Rochor River enters the Kallang Basin. (26 July 2017)
Kallang River is the longest river in Singapore. It connects the Lower Peirce Reservoir to the Kallang Basin, a distance of 10 km across the island republic. Historically, the estuary of the Kallang River is at Kallang Basin, but successive land reclamation has extended the shoreline outwards, creating the Marina Channel, which is dammed by the Marina Barrage.
The river, as with the surrounding areas, was named after the natives living there during the time Raffles established Singapore. They were known as the biduanda orang kallang, natives who make a living fishing around the estuary of the river. A census conducted during the establishment of Singapore in 1819 placed the number of orang kallang as 1,000.

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.
