DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of Bencoolen Street. Also known in Mandarin 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 年至 1828 年之间，从苏门答腊来到狮城的明古连回教徒在此建了明古连清真寺（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）和亚峇中心（Albert Complex）。2017 年，明古连地铁站也正式运作。
