Saiboo Street, SingaporeSaiboo Street, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Saiboo Street is a road at Robertson Quay, Singapore. It is within the Singapore River Planning Area. The road connects Martin Road, at the junction of Mohamed Sultan Road in the north, to Havelock Road in the south. It crosses the Pulau Saigon Bridge.

According to Singapore Street Names1, the road was named after S. Saiboo Ghany, an influential South Indian Muslim who was one of the trustees of the Nagore Durgha Shrine in 1893. What's in the Name? has a different opinion2, stating that the road was named after money changer Saiboo Marican, and was known as Saiboo Marican Street in 1902.

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.
