Kallang
Kallang (Chinese: 加冷, Tamil: காலாங்), officially Kallang/Whampoa, is an urban planning area and residential town located in the Central Region of Singapore. The town, alongside the housing estate of Whampoa, located within the district of Novena; is consolidated as a single town.
Kallang is probably best known for being home to two of Singapore's most iconic sports stadiums, the National Stadium and Jalan Besar Stadium. It is also where Singapore's first civilian airport, Kallang Airport, was located.
Etymology
Kallang is an old Malay reference to the orang laut (people of the sea), called orang biduanda kallang, who lived in the vicinity of the Kallang River and Singapore River. At the time of Raffles' landing in Singapore in 1819, there were about 500 orang biduanda kallang. In 1824, the Temenggung moved the orang kallang to the Pulai River in Johor. They consisted of about 100 families, but in 1847 most of them died of a smallpox epidemic. By 1848, the orang kallang were virtually extinct.
