由来
  • 勿洛是英语 “Bedok” 的音译。
  • 关于 “Bedok” 的由来有两种说法。第一种说法是该词源自马来语的 bedoh，即 “鼓” 的意思。早期新加坡的马来人会用鼓在村里宣布重要的消息，回教堂也会每天用五次鼓声来提醒马来人祈祷的时间。第二种说法是源自马来语的 biduk，即 “小渔船” 的意思。早期勿洛沿岸的地带停满小渔船，当地便以此为名。
  • 勿洛码头于 1966 年建成，全长 250 米，原为一座私人码头，后由新加坡国防部（Ministry of Defence）接管作为军事用途。
  • 1988 年，公用事业局（Public Utilities Board）拨款一百一十万翻新勿洛码头，并将码头对外开放至今。如今的勿洛码头是骑车、钓鱼等休闲活动的好去处。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “勿洛” is the transliteration of the English term “Bedok”.
  • It is believed that there are two possible origins of the name “Bedok”. One belief is that the term came from the Malay word bedoh, meaning “drum”. In Singapore's early days, Malays would use drums to announce important news in their villages. Mosques would also sound the drums five times per day as a reminder of the time for prayers. Another belief is that it originated from the Malay word biduk, meaning “small fishing boat”, as the coasts of Bedok were lined with small fishing boats.
  • The 250-metre Bedok Jetty was built in 1966. It was originally a private jetty and was later taken over by the Ministry of Defence for military purposes.
  • In 1988, the Public Utilities Board allocated $1.1 million to upgrade Bedok Jetty, which has been opened to public ever since. Today, Bedok Jetty is a popular venue for cycling, fishing, and other leisure activities.
