Senoko
Subzone of Sembawang Planning Area in Singapore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Senoko (sə-NOH-koh) is an industrial area located in Sembawang, in the northern part of Singapore. It is best known for its power station and fishery port. It is also the eponym of the Senoko North and Senoko South subzones in Sembawang.
Etymology
In Franklin and Jackson's Plan of Singapore (1830), the place name Senoko was found and referred to the "River Simko" or Sungei Senoko in Malay. The river has since been merged into Sungei Sembawang, which flows out of the mouth of the former Sungei Senoko.
Transportation
Tower Transit Singapore's bus service 981 goes to Senoko Industrial Estate, while services 169 and 856 plies through Admiralty Road West.
The closest Mass Rapid Transit station is Woodlands North on the Thomson–East Coast Line, which will also be the future Singapore terminus of the RTS Link to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
