由来

“勿洛”是英语“Bedok”的音译。
关于“Bedok”的由来有两种说法。第一种说法是这个词源自马来语的beduk，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，回教堂也会每天五次用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。早期勿洛沿岸停满小渔船，当地便以此为名。
勿洛码头于1966年建成，全长250米，原为一座私人码头，后由新加坡国防部（Ministry of Defence）接管作为军事用途。
1988年，公用事业局（Public Utilities Board）拨款新币一百一十万元翻新勿洛码头，并将码头对外开放至今。如今的勿洛码头是骑脚踏车、钓鱼等休闲活动的好去处。

ETYMOLOGY

The Mandarin term “勿洛” is the transliteration of the name “Bedok”.
Two possible origins of the name have been posited. One belief is that it came from the Malay word beduk, meaning “drum”. In Singapore’s early days, the Malays would use drums to announce important news in their villages. Some mosques would also sound the drums five times a day as a reminder of prayer times. Another belief is that the name originated from the Malay word biduk, meaning “small fishing boat”, as the Bedok coast used to be lined with such vessels.
The 250-metre Bedok Jetty was built in 1966. It was originally a private jetty before being taken over by the Ministry of Defence for military purposes.
In 1988, the Public Utilities Board allocated S$1.1 million to upgrade Bedok Jetty, after which it was opened to the public. Today, Bedok Jetty is a popular venue for cycling, fishing and other leisure activities.
