  Choa Chu Kang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Choa Chu Kang or Chua Chu Kang is a suburban area in the West Region of Singapore.
Choa Chu Kang's name is derived from its historical core at the former site of Chua Chu Kang Village located near the junction of Choa Chu Kang Road and Jalan Sungei Poyan, currently occupied by the grounds of the National Shooting Centre.
Today, the Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency as at the general election of 2001 largely covers only the area in Choa Chu Kang New Town, while the rest largely falls under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency.

 History
Choa Chu Kang is easy to reach now, with an MRT station, the LRT, a bus interchange, and expressways.
Apparently, these immigrants helped to create the "chu kang" used in some Singapore place names - "kang" referred to a river, while "Chu" was said to be the clan name of the first headman in charge of the plantations in these areas.
Among wildlife conservationists, Choa Chu Kang still has a dubious reputation as the place where supposedly the last wild tiger to roam free in Singapore, was shot dead in the early years of the 20th century.

Then there followed a longish period through the 1970s and a little beyond when a large number of new towns were built, from Bedok and Tampines in the east, to Clementi, Ghim Moh and Jurong in the west.
But you should note that even when a new town had a name originating from Chinese, the tendency was to use the most common dialect pronunciation.
Other recent new towns, such as Choa Chu Kang and Yew Tee, have similarly retained their dialect names, and have even retained the way they have traditionally been written, with spaces between syllables.
