 No Place Like Home - Chapter One (text-only)
In fact, strictly speaking, the very name, 'Bukit Timah Hill', is tautological, because 'bukit' in Malay, means 'hill'.
Ask the question to the man in the street and he will tell you, quite rightly, that 'Bukit Timah Hill' is the name of a hill (in this case the highest natural landform in Singapore), whereas 'Bukit Timah' refers to an entire area, from Zhujiao Centre at Rochor, all the way north to Bukit Panjang.
Note how in this case, the region called 'Bukit Timah' has taken its name from a prominent physical landmark, and is defined more or less by the routes taken by a major road and an expressway (the Bukit Timah Expressway).
