释义

名词

明古连街（Bencoolen Street）的俗称。也称“斋堂后”。

DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of Bencoolen Street. Also known in Chinese as “斋堂后”.

由来

明古连街是与桥北路（North Bridge Road）平行的第五条主要街道。
明古连街的命名是为了纪念莱佛士爵士（Sir Stamford Raffles）在19世纪初担任苏门答腊（Sumatra）明古连的总督。
1825至1828年间，从苏门答腊明古连来到新加坡的回教徒在此建造了明古连回教堂（Masjid Bencoolen）。
1885年，这条街上也建了一座桥，名为“明古连街桥”（Bencoolen Street Bridge），横跨梧槽水道（Rochor Canal），将明古连街与惹兰勿刹（Jalan Besar）连接起来。
五马路一带的著名建筑有南洋艺术学院（Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts）、森林商业中心（Sim Lim Square）及雅柏中心（Albert Complex）。2017年，位于明古连街地底下的明古连地铁站也正式投入运作。
