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



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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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