10 Common Misconceptions of the Names of Places in Singapore
Is Ang Mo Kio ?ang mo kio? (tomato)? Or is Holland Village named after the Dutch community in Singapore? Are there any links between the new Chong Pang estate and the old Chong Pang Village? Let?s find out more?


1. Ang Mo Kio


Tomatoes are called ?ang mo kio? (Caucasian?s brinjal) in Hokkien, which probably led to the misconception that the name of Ang Mo Kio New Town was named after the fruit. However, no tomato farms were ever recorded growing in the old Ang Mo Kio vicinity.
