Kampong Malacca district and no Chinaman would think of giving the name quoted, but would be content with the indefinite expression 'Kam-kong Ma-lak-kah.' The neighbourhood contains but few Cantonese, and they would use 'Kam-pong Ma-lak-kah.' The 'chui-lan' pavilion'. (There used to be a club on this hill, known by this name). (i) 'The cul-de-sac in 'Tek Kha'.' (Tek Kha' means 'foot of the bamboos' and is the universal name for all the Selegie Road neighbourhood). (ii) 'The third (street) opposite the 'Tek-kha' pawnshop.' (There is a pawnshop in Selegie Road, and opposite it three narrow lanes lead off, viz. Veerappa Chetty lane, Nagapa lane, and this one.) (i) 'Old idol street.' (There is an old temple at Tanjong Pagar.) (ii) 'From the old market going to Tanjong Pagar (along) the shore, that street'. These names are such as may be used by Hokkiens. I can find no Cantonese name. Far [sic] a great part of the road.
