Here, you can see a mixture of buildings from the colonial era, modern structures, and everything in between. The newer roads in Bendemeer are wide and intersect with the narrower lanes of undeveloped Singapore. Bendemeer bustles with small and big businesses, laborers and executives, and people of all backgrounds. Divided into the Serangoon Road, Whampoa, and Geylang Bahru areas, it is a district that presents physical evidence of Singapore's progress over the past 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e With old buildings and ways of life still persisting in Bendemeer, the district is a mosaic of Singapore's history. Bendemeer does not only show Singapore's overall chronological development but also traces the origins of the different immigrant communities in Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhampoa, for example, was a settlement of immigrant Chinese traders in the early 1900s. This area was named after Hoo Ah Kay, a Chinese immigrant fondly referred to as Whampoa because he ran a business called Whampoa \u0026amp; Co. He was also the only Chinese to be elected into the Executive Legislative Council of British Singapore, earning him prestige and honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Serangoon Rd area, in contrast, was and still is an area for Indian immigrants in Singapore. Serangoon Rd is a long road, which cuts across and surpasses the Bendemeer district. Also known as Little India, Serangoon Road has changed very little over the years. It still retains the charm, landscape, and habits of the last century. Temples like the historic Sri Veeramakaliamman are still utilized today, remaining more a place of worship than a tourist attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Areas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhampoa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The Whampoa area is still laidback and relaxed, with low-rise HDB flats, wet markets, and shophouses. There is a large elderly population in Whampoa, who spend their days playing chess around the area. Most of the commercial enterprises in Whampoa are also run by the elderly, most of whom have been in the business for half a century or so. Here, you find small confectionaries, old dental clinics, and \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esinseh \u003c\/em\u003e(Chinese medicine) shops.

Mustaffa Centre, Singapore's only 24-hour department store, is located at the Bendemeer end of Serangoon Road. There are also temples and mosques everywhere. You can find money-changers at every row of shophouses on Serangoon Road – this is a profession dominated by Indian Muslims. Despite the majority South Asian population, however, there are a few vehicle-repair shops and coffee shops that are run by Chinese businessmen. There are also many arts and design companies located in this area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeylang Bahru\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This area is the newer, more developed section of Bendemeer. A residential estate comprising mainly HDB flats, Geylang Bahru is clean, new, and organized. There are also many industrial and commercial buildings here, dealing largely with automotives and vending machines. This is a good place to buy new or used motorcycles, as there are imports here that you cannot find anywhere else in Singapore. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Headquarters are located here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel_sites\/whats_nearby\/77\/public_building\/districts\/Bendemeer\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial Buildings @ Bendemeer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_43107\/\"\u003eBoon Keng Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1687\/travel_site_42939\/\"\u003eCHUBB\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_43052\/\"\u003eJalan Lembah Kallang\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_141370\/\"\u003eKallang Bahru\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_42733\/\"\u003eLavender Street\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_41221\/\"\u003eMar Thoma Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_41016\/\"\u003eMoonstone Lane\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_40657\/\"\u003eSaint George's Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_40573\/\"\u003eSaint Michael's Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_40601\/\"\u003eSaint Michael\\s Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_44305\/travel_site_43155\/\"\u003eScdf Bendemeer Camp\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel_sites\/whats_nearby\/37\/government_office\/districts\/Bendemeer\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGovernment Office @ Bendemeer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_741\/travel_site_43059\/\"\u003eBendemeer Industrial Estate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_1\/travel_site_43152\/\"\u003eBendemeer Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_36099\/travel_site_42937\/\"\u003eIngram Micro Asia Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_7158\/travel_site_43110\/\"\u003eRainbow Industries\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e» \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel\/travel_id_35050\/travel_site_43141\/\"\u003eSamta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.streetdirectory.com\/asia_travel\/travel_sites\/whats_nearby\/4\/condominium_and_apartments\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondominiums \u0026amp;
