Bukit Batok, Residential planning area in western Singapore.
Bukit Batok spans 11.13 square kilometers and contains numerous residential buildings interspersed with parks, schools, and commercial establishments.
The area transformed from rubber and pineapple plantations before 1940 into a modern residential town following its official establishment in 1975.
The name originates from Malay language where 'Bukit' means hill, while 'Batok' refers to coconut trees or granite quarrying sounds.
The district connects to Singapore's transportation network through multiple bus routes and Mass Rapid Transit stations for efficient commuting.
Gombak norite, an igneous rock formation, underlies much of Bukit Batok and made it a central location for Singapore's quarrying industry.
