MacPherson Road, Singapore

MacPherson Road is one of the major roads in Singapore. It connects Jalan Toa Payoh, at the junction with Serangoon Road, Bendemeer Road and the Pan Island Expressway in the west, with Airport Road, at the intersection with Paya Lebar Road and Upper Paya Lebar Road, in the east.

MacPherson Road separates Toa Payoh planning area on its north side from Geylang planning area on the south side. The road was originally called Jalan Klapa, which was renamed after China War (1841) veteran, Lieutenant Colonel Ronald MacPherson (1817-69). Today, there is another Jalan Klapa which refers to a minor road in Kampong Glam.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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