Kampong Bahru, or Kampeng Bharu as what is written on this photograph, was located in what is known as Pasir Ris today. Pasir Ris used to be a low-lying, undeveloped area populated by other villages such as the various Chinese kampongs along Elias Road. The area was also well-known for its plantation estates including the Singapore United Plantations, Loh Lam Estate, Hun Yeang and Thai Min Estates.
