MacKenzie Road, Singapore

Mackenzie Road, SingaporeMackenzie Road, Singapore (30 July 2017)


MacKenzie Road is one of the minor roads in downtown Singapore. It runs from Selegie Road to the interchange at Bukit Timah Road. The road is between Newton and Rochor. It is on one of the less developed part of urban Singapore, with stretches of open space and greenery.

MacKenzie Road was named after Reverend H.L. MacKenzie. The Hokkiens called it Tek Kha Chooi Tee meaning "tank under the bamboo grove". They may be referring to the water tank belonging to a local Tamil, Narappan, who sold fresh water from his tank.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
