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

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.
