Bernam Street

Bernam Street (Chinese: 柏南街) is a one-way street located in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore.

Bernam Street starts at its junction with Tanjong Pagar Road and ends with its junction with Anson Road.

Etymology

The street was named after the Bernam River, which flows between the states of Perak and Selangor in Peninsular Malaysia. The naming was due to a 1898 municipal resolution to "use names of rivers and districts in the Malay Peninsula as being better adapted to the purpose [of naming streets] than the names of persons or families".^[1]
