新加坡的“零”里程碑 SINGAPORE MILE ZERO

Date: 5 November 2022, Saturday

Time: 11:38 am - 11:55 am

Venue: Singapore Mile Zero at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

The Fullerton Building marks the position of Mile Zero, adopted circa 1909 as the origin of all road distances in Singapore.

Mile Zero refers to the point in a city from which all addresses take their bearings. While the General Post Office was operational at the Fullerton Building, it was Singapore's "Mile Zero".

In Singapore, all roads lead to Fullerton Hotel, where this Mile Zero marker is located.

Way before developed proper roads and invent the comprehensive maps, people measured landmarks and districts of Singapore by the distances (miles) across Singapore by taking the then General Post Office as the "zero-point".

To North（往北）

0 mile > 7 miles, Bukit Timah > 10 miles, Bukit Panjang > 15 miles, Woodlands

0 mile > 5 miles, Thomson > 12.5 miles, Chong Pang

To West（往西）

0 mile > 7 miles, Bukit Timah > 18 miles, Tuas

0 mile > 7 miles, Bukit Timah > 10 miles, Bukit Panjang > 16 miles, Choa Chu Kang

0 mile > 2 miles, Orchard Road > 3.5 miles, Napier Road (Botanic Gardens) > 5 miles, Holland Road > 6 miles

0 mile > 7.5 miles, Pasir Panjang > 10/11 miles

The major roads are clearly marked on this milestone.

Orchard Road is 2 miles away,

Bukit Timah , 7 miles away and

Bukit Panjang at 10 miles away.

In the past, if someone got onto a private hire and tell the driver to take him to 7 miles, he would arrive at his destination, Bukit Timah.

This also explains why there is a mall in Bukit Panjang named Junction 10. It was formerly known as Ten Mile Junction because of its location.

To East（往东）

0 mile > 3 miles, Geylang > 14 miles, Changi

0 mile > 6 miles, Hougang > 7.5 miles, Upper Serangoon (Kangkar) > 11 miles

Remark:

1 mile = 1.609 km
