Societies all over the world name
places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but
places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an
organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that
a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the
government. As in many areas, old habits die hard and the place
continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡)are
named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus
we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with
traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is
naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships
between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there
were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is
clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you
step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named
by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the
activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an
interesting example, "Base Basah" means "wet rice" in Malay(马来语).
Now why would anyone want to name a road "Wet Rice Road"? The reason
is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this
road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by
their shapes. There is "Circular Road" for one. Other roads may have
part of their names to describe their shapes, like "Paya Lebar
Crescent". This road is called a crescent(月牙)
because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the
main road again.
