Syed Alwi Road is a minor road in the Little India neighbourhood of Singapore. It is a one way road with traffic flowing from Serangoon Road to Jalan Sultan, at the intersection of Rochor Canal Road. In between, Syed Alwi Road is intersected by Jalan Besar, and forms junctions to Lembu Road, Kampong Kapor Road, Verdun Road, Jalan Berseh, Townshend Road, and King George's Avenue.
According to Singapore Street Names1, Syed Alwi Road was named after Syed Alwie bin Mohamed Al Junied (1814-1858) whose father was an Arab merchant who relocated to Singapore from Palembang. He was also the cousin of another imminent Muslim of the Arab community, Syed Omar bin Ali Al Junied.
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.
