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
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
