Singapore 46 - Bedok, Chai Chee
Bedok is the Malay name for the drum that was used in the pre-loudspeaker days to call worshippers to pray at the mosque. At Jalan Sempadan, on the outskirts of Bedok there is a cemetery where Rhio and Bornean relatives who settled in the district in the pre-Rafflesian days are buried. Siglap, the southern part of Bedok was a vast coconut plantation known as the Siglap Estate that stretched from the beach to Changi Road and narrow Siglap Road wound through it from Upper East Coast Road. Part of the Bedok area was reclaimed in the 1966 under the East Coast Reclamation Scheme which is providing land for new residential, commercial and recreational facilities.
