Kheam Hock Road, Singapore (2 August 2017)


Kheam Hock Road is a road in Novena, Singapore. It connects Lornie Road in the north to the intersection with Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah Road in the south. On the northern end, an underpass has been built in 2019 to provide through traffic from Lornie Road to Kheam Hock Road, bypassing Lornie Highway, which also has ramps connected to Kheam Hock Road.

Roads forming junctions with Kheam Hock Road include University Road, Trevose Crescent, Tudor Close, Jalan Tempua and Trevose Crescent.

Kheam Hock Road was given its name in 1923. It was named after Tan Kheam Hock (1862-1922)¹, the son of a merchant from Penang, Tan Teng Pong. The younger Tan served as Justice of Peace as well as Municipal Commissioner. It was through his effort that the Bukit Brown Cemetery was established in 1922.

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.
