Singapore's MRT system is one of the highest-profile transportation systems in the world, known for its efficiency, cleanliness, and convenience. However, in addition to these excellent quality services, the Singapore MRT also hides some unique and interesting MRT names that are rich in history, culture and local characteristics, allowing people to enjoy the diversity of Singapore while moving from city to city.
In Singapore's MRT system, you may find a wonderful mixture: MRT names are sometimes like English, sometimes like Chinese, and other times more like other foreign languages. This is because the Singapore MRT name itself covers multiple languages. Different MRT station names have different origins, reflecting Singapore's multicultural character.
For example, the Red Hill "Tanah Merah" is translated into Malay from the Portuguese word "Tanamera". "Tanah" means soil, ground or earth, while "Merah" means red. This multilingual naming not only reflects Singapore's linguistic diversity, but also makes the names of MRT stations in Singapore more inclusive and culturally representative.
So, don't panic or get confused when you see some names that you are not very familiar with at a Singapore MRT station. By understanding the history and culture behind each MRT station name, you'll gain a better understanding of Singapore's local character and customs. After all, the meaning of the name of the subway station also hints at the uniqueness of a place.
Recently, the weather has been hot, and I have also started my journey to explore the MRT station in Singapore. Not only can you enjoy the coolness of the air-conditioning, but you can also feel the convenience and efficiency of Singapore's transportation, and appreciate its rich history and diverse culture. It's amazing!
