Parsi Road was named in 1954. It commemorates the Parsi community that was established in 1829, but has since been expunged. According to Singapore Infopedia2, the first Parsi person to arrive in Singapore was actually a convict by the name of Muncherjee, who came in 1819. The Parsis follow Zoroastrianism, an Iranian religion.
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.
