由来
  • 英语 “Bedok” 的音译。
  • 关于 “Bedok” 的由来有两种说法。第一种说法是该词源自马来语的 bedoh,即 “鼓” 的意思。早期新加坡的马来人会用鼓在村里宣布重要的消息,回教堂也会每天用五次鼓声来提醒马来人祈祷的时间。第二种说法是源自马来语的 biduk,即 “小渔船” 的意思。早期勿洛沿岸的地带停满小渔船,当地便以此为名。
  • 在莱佛士爵士(Sir Stamford Raffles)登入新加坡之前,勿洛外围的惹兰新巴丹(Jalan Sempadan)上有个里奥(Riau)和婆罗洲(Borneo)人民设立的坟场。在勿洛南边的实乞纳(Siglap)区, 也有一座椰子园。
  • 勿洛发展计划(Bedok Planning area)于 1963 年启动。勿洛有一部分的土地是在 1966 年东海岸的填海计划(East Coast Reclamation Scheme)中填海形成的。
  • 1976 年,新加坡建屋发展局(Housing & Development Board)已在这一带建了 4,600 个组屋单位。
  • 根据建屋发展局的统计,勿洛在 2018 年有 60,000 个组屋单位,居住人口约达 19 万人。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “勿洛” is a transliteration of the English name “Bedok”.
  • It is believed that there are two possible origins of the name “Bedok”. One belief is that the term came from the Malay word bedoh, meaning “drum”. In Singapore's early days, Malays would use drums to announce important news in their villages. Mosques would also sound the drums five times per day as a reminder of the time for prayers. Another belief is that it originated from the Malay word biduk, meaning “small fishing boat”, as the coasts of Bedok were lined with small fishing boats.
  • Before Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in Singapore, there was a cemetery on the outskirts of Bedok, at Jalan Sempadan, where Riau and Bornean people were buried. There was also a coconut plantation in Siglap, south of Bedok.
  • The Bedok Planning area was launched in 1963. A part of the area was reclaimed during the East Coast Reclamation Scheme in 1966.
  • By 1976, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) had already built 4,600 flats in this area.
  • According to statistics from the HDB, Bedok had 60,000 flats in 2018, with a population of approximately 190,000.
