 | | 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. |
