Marymount (Chinese: 玛丽蒙, Template:Lang-ta). Its boundary is made up of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 Ang Mo Kio, Singapore in the north; Bishan Road Bishan, Singapore in the east; Braddell Road in the south; and Marymount Road in the west, Shunfu, Sin Ming.
Etymology
The name Marymount comes from the Mandarin pronunciation of the word MacRitchie, the name of the nearby reservoir. When MacRitchie is translated to Mandarin, it is pronounced as "Ma Li Qi", which literally means "Mary ride", or as the name suggests, "Marymount".[citation needed]
