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



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.
