Bukit Batok New Town - Definition and Overview

Bukit Batok is a neighbourhood in the city-state of Singapore.

Bukit Batok is under the jurisdiction of Jurong Group Representative Committee (GRC).

Bukit means "hill" in the malay language, thus the name of the town gives the impression of it being hilly. Today, much of the land has been paved to built roads and flats to suit the needs of the population. The streets and roads are lined with trees just as other neighbourhoods, and this feature has enabled Singapore to be known as the "Garden City".

The Bukit Batok Central is where the shopping complex Westmall is located. The Bukit Batok Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station is situated next to the complex.

The are several education institutions in the area, including Princess Elizabeth Primary School, Keming Primary School, Dazhong Primary School, Bukit Batok Secondary and Bukit Batok ITE. There is also a swimming complex located near the Bukit Batok MRT station.
