Bernam Street (Chinese: 柏南街) is a one-way street located in Tanjong Pagar in Singapore.
Bernam Street starts at its junction with Tanjong Pagar Road and ends with its junction with Anson Road.
Etymology
[edit]The street was named after the Bernam River, which flows between the states of Perak and Selangor in Peninsular Malaysia. The naming was due to a 1898 municipal resolution to "use names of rivers and districts in the Malay Peninsula as being better adapted to the purpose [of naming streets] than the names of persons or families".[1]
