Situated in the Southern side of Queenstown, Pasir Panjang is an area in Singapore. It is located adjacent to the Kent Ridge Park which is a unique topographical feature and is popular for its undisturbed nature trails and bird-watching scenes. The area of Pasir Panjang is also unique in its way. The name, ‘Pasir Panjang’ is a term word which means ‘long sand’. Rightly kept, the name refers to the stretch of long sandy beach that runs along the coast of this area. A prominent element of Pasir Panjang is Pasir Panjang Road, which used to run along the coastline. The road was used to go up to the Jurong River. The Pasir Panjang Road was constructed during the service period of John Turnbull Thomson, the Government Surveyor of Singapore who held this post from 1841 to 1853. Today, Pasir Panjang Road connects this region with many of the places to visit near Pasir Panjang<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pasir Panjang was popular for its production of opium until 1910, the Government took up the opium industry from the private industrialists of this region. This lead to the establishment of a state-owned opium factory in Pasir Panjang. By 1920, Pasir Panjang saw a change in its tourism aspect when many rich Chinese built holiday villas and residential bungalows along its coast. Many of these buildings are still present in this region. Also, in 1930, numerous Malay families who had been living in the Kallang River Basin area were resettled in Pasir Panjang.<\/p>\n

This was done as their land was reclaimed by the government for the construction of Kallang Airport. This area in Pasir Panjang with Malay settlement came to be known as West Coast Malay Settlement for containing many Malay fishing villages. But by the late 1960s, the whole coast, extending from the Singapore River to Jurong was reclaimed for wharves and the coastal area at Pasir Panjang was also taken up by the government to construct the Pasir Panjang Terminal of the Port of Singapore.<\/p>\n

The major highlights of the Pasir Panjang region are the Pasir Panjang Pillbox and the Pasir Panjang Terminal. The former is a concrete machine-gun built before the Japanese invasion of Malaya and Singapore. The Pillbox was on the coast during the war but after the extensive land reclamation, it is now shifted to 75 km away from the sea. The Pillbox is located on Pasir Panjang Road.<\/p>\n
