Pasir Ris is an urban planning area and coastal district in the Eastern region of Singapore. Pasir Ris consists of two precincts. Pasir Ris New Town, the main residential district, sits in the Western portion of the planning area. Loyang Industrial Estate is located East of the New Town. These precincts can be further divided into a total of eight sub-zones.〔() 〕 Like other new towns, public transport facilities were factored into the development of Pasir Ris. Pasir Ris is easily accessible via bus services at Pasir Ris Bus Interchange and the Mass Rapid Transit at Pasir Ris MRT Station. Today, the new landmarks in the area are the popular NTUC Pasir Ris Resort, Pasir Ris Beach Park and White Sands, a shopping mall. ==Etymology and history== The first reference to a village of ''Pasir Ris'', ''Passier Reis'', appeared in 1853. There has been conjecture that perhaps this is a contraction of Pasir Hiris (''pasir'' is "sand" and ''hiris'' means "to shred" in Malay). Pasir Ris may also mean "white sand" in Malay. Pasir Ris Town is named after the long stretch of sandy white beach along the north-east coastline of Singapore, facing Pulau Ubin. The town exudes a resort ambience and its architecture and identity take inspiration from the surrounding beach and sea elements.〔()〕 Pasir Ris was originally a low-lying, undeveloped area with kampongs and villages like Kampong Pasir Ris, Kampong Bahru and the various Chinese kampongs along Elias Road. The area was well known for its many plantation estates including the Singapore United Plantations, Loh Lam Estate, Hun Yeang and Thai Min Estates. The beach was a popular resort for water skiing in the 1950s. There was also the Pasir Ris Hotel, venue of many memorable parties and picnic gatherings in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. The development of Pasir Ris New Town began in 1983 with Phase 1 being an Elias Road/Pasir Ris Estate, followed by Loyang N1 and N2 by 1989–90, N4 from 1992 to 1993, N5 from 1995 and N6 in 1997 together with N7. The proposed Neighbourhood 3 (N3) is just an empty land and (N8) is part of military training area, will be reviewed in 2018. Today, White Sands Shopping Centre, located next to Pasir Ris MRT Station, embodies the local place name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pasir Ris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
