Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 31, 2011 Staff Share Posted July 31, 2011 The name Ang Mo Kio has been used since the mid-1800s, with early 19th-century maps marking the area as Amokiah, from whch its name is derived. But the meaning of Ang Mo Kio is unclear. In Hokkien, it can mean a foreigner's bridge or a tomato. The town was also the firs to be designed in metres and centimetres instead of the imperial system of feet and yards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
