Tanjong Pagar
Originally dubbed Salinter (or Salintar), the name Tanjong Pagar, a Malay phrase signifying "cape of stakes," mirrors its genesis as a fishing hamlet poised upon a former promontory. A prevailing notion suggests that the name found its roots in the existence of kelong (offshore palisade fishing traps ingeniously crafted from wooden stakes and crosspieces) that graced the coastline, spanning from the village of Tanjong Malang to its contemporary counterpart, Tanjong Pagar.
