Interesting facts
Kinta Road takes its name from the Kinta Valley in Perak, once one of the major tin-mining regions of Malaya. Several streets in this part of Singapore borrow Malayan place names.
The road has two parts: the main stretch between Race Course Road and Serangoon Road, and a short branch that joins Race Course Lane.
Race Course Road recalls the racecourse laid out in the 1840s on what is now Farrer Park field. Farrer Park itself was named after a President of the Municipal Commissioners of the 1920s.
Nearby
Farrer Park MRT station (North East Line, NE8) on Race Course Road is the closest station, a few minutes away on foot. Mustafa Centre on Syed Alwi Road and City Square Mall are both walkable, and the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, a national monument since 1978, is further up Serangoon Road.
