Tiong Bahru Road, Singapore

Tiong Bahru Road is a major road in Bukit Merah, Singapore. It is the main road through the Tiong Bahru Estate, which is the oldest housing estate in the island nation, built in the 1930's to 50's.

Tiong Bahru Road starts at Outram Road, where it forks into two branches. From there, it heads is a westerly direction, to end at Tanglin Road. Along the way, it forms three intersections, one with Seng Poh Road, one with Lower Delta Road, and one with Henderson Road. It also forms junctions with Kim Pong Road, Kim Tian Road, Jalan Membina, Redhill Close, Jalan Tiong and Leng Kee Road to the south, and with Bukit Ho Swee Link, Boon Tiong Road Link and Zion Road to the north.

Tiong Bahru Road got its name from Tiong Bahru, which means "new cemetery". The name comes from tiong for "cemetery" in Chinese, and bahru for "new" in Malay.

The old Singapore Improvement Trust flats built in the 1930's to 50's can still be seen today, although dwarfed by taller high-rises now. The area is served by the Tiong Bahru MRT Station (EW17) of the East-West Line.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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