Bukit Chermain Road

There are two explainations behind this place-name. One is that it means "mirror hill road" (chermaine means "glass" in Malay),owing to the clearness of the water in the area. A conical promontory situated overlooking the New Harbour (now Keppel Harbour) was reflected int he glassy water below. The other view holds that the hill was named after the chermain, a silvery moon fish. The hill was originally the residence of W.Kerr in the 1840s. The road name was officially confirmed in 1922.
