A Brief History Of Ang Mo KIo

Ang Mo Kio is a quintessential Housing and Development Board (HDB) heartland with its mature neighborhoods, good hawker food, strong neighborly relationships and small businesses that have been operating since the early days of the town.

Originally, the town was predominantly farmland, secondary forest and swamps. It was marked as a forest reserve under the colonial government in a 1936 map. The earliest reference to this area is in an 1849 report written by J T Thomson, Government Surveyor, which mentioned that “Amokiah”, the name for Ang Mo Kio then, and it contain sandstone. Early maps of Singapore also refer to the area as “Amokiah”. By the 1900s, the area was referred to as Ang Mo Kio.

There are multiple theories proposed for the origins of the name Ang Mo Kio. One say that it is the Hokkien dialect for tomatoes. Others say that it refers to a bridge purportedly built by Thomson as “ang mo” is a Hokkien term for Caucasians, and “kio” means “bridge”. However, former villagers in the area, reported that tomatoes were never planted in the area and the name Ang Mo Kio was not used by locals as a place name.

A more plausible explanation was given by Douglas Hiorns, former General Manager of Bukit Sembawang Estates. According to Hiorns, there were two key tracks crossing Ang Mo Kio, an area with large expanses of swamps and tributaries of rivers running through it. As a result, bridges carrying the tracks over the waterways gained a local importance. The bridge carrying Cheng San Road over the tributary of Kallang River was made of concrete, a material commonly referred to as “ang mo he” or “Western ash” in Hokkien. In the north, a wooden bridge carried the road Jalan Hwi Yoh over the river Sungei Tongkang and was locally called “pang kio”, meaning “wooden bridge” in Hokkien.

As such, the area acquired the name “Ang Mo Kio”. Today, Ang Mo Kio is one of the most sought-after housing estates in Singapore by home-buyers and the modern town has its own stories to tell. Some examples include the one and only block of circular flats in Singapore by the Housing and Development Board, and town gardens where the original vegetation forms part of the landscape. And right beside this circular block of flat is where Amo Residence at Ang Mo Kio Rise is.
