释义

名词

三巴旺位于新加坡北部，北起柔佛海峡(Straits of Johor)，东临新邦(Simpang)，西至兀兰(Woodlands)，南达万礼(Mandai)。

DEFINITION

Noun

Sembawang is situated in the northern part of Singapore, and is bordered by the Straits of Johor in the north, Simpang in the east, Woodlands in the west, and Mandai on the south.

由来

“Sembawang” 这个名称可追溯到1830年富兰克林 (Franklin)和杰克逊 (Jackson) 所设计的新加坡计划（plan of Singapore）。据说三巴旺取名于三巴旺树 (Sembawang Tree)。此外，“bawang”也是马来语“洋葱”的意思。
19世纪至20世纪初，三巴旺为甘比尔(gambier)、胡椒、树胶、黄梨等植物的种植地。
1923年，英军于三巴旺施工建海军基地，并于1941年完工。海军基地于1938年开始运行。当时的商家把握商机，纷纷到三巴旺开店，使三巴旺迅速发展。
1968年，新加坡政府接手海军基地，并由三巴旺船厂 (Sembawang Shipyard) 在前海军基地经营船厂。
现今三巴旺有不少道路都是为了纪念英军的海军基地而取名，如加拿大路 (Canada Road) 和蒙特利路 (Montreal Road) 。
1996年，三巴旺进行翻新，建设新镇。
三巴旺路 (Sembawang Road) 建于1850年代初，为义顺(Yishun)和三巴旺地区最古老的街道。这条街原名为实力达路 (Seletar Road)，于1938年改名。

ETYMOLOGY

The earliest reference to Sembawang is found in Franklin and Jackson's 1830 plan of Singapore. It is said that the Sembawang area is named after the Sembawang Tree. In addition, the Malay term bawang refers to “onions”.
In the 19th century and early 20th century, there were gambier, pepper, rubber and pineapple plantations located in Sembawang.
In 1923, the British Army started the construction of a naval base in Sembawang. Opened in 1938, the base was finally completed in 1941. At the time, local businesses seized the opportunity to set up shops in Sembawang, contributing to its rapid growth.
In 1968, the Singapore Government took over the naval base, which was then developed into an operational shipyard by Sembawang Shipyard Pte Ltd.
Today, there are several roads around Sembawang, such as Canada Road and Montreal Road, which were named in commemoration of the British naval base.
In 1996, Sembawang underwent urban renewal and was developed into a new town.
Built in the early 1850s, Sembawang Road is the oldest road in Yishun and Sembawang. It was originally named Seletar Road, but was renamed in 1938.
