Hi team,
I’ve got an urgent task for you. The The Travel Addict: Singapore travel guide book published in the 1950s needs an urgent revamp. I’ve tasked all the writers I can get to update the book. I’ll need your help to update us about Kerbau Road in Little India. Here is an excerpt about Kerbau Road from the old guide book.
The
kerbau in Kerbau road means buffalo
in Malay. The road got its name from the once thriving cattle trade in the
area. Cattles were kept here as it was near the slaughter houses. Kerbau Road
was populated mainly by Hindus and the rearing of cattle for transportation and
milk products was concentrated here.

Interestingly, there
is a Chinese villa, called the Tan Teng Niah House, at No 37 Kerbau Road. This
eight-room villa was built by Tan Teng Niah, a prominent Chinese businessman,
for his wife in 1900. He was the owner of a confectionary business, a few
sweet-making factories anda rubber smokehouse on Kerbau Road.
