Yew Tee
Yew Tee is an area situated in the north-western part of Singapore. It is a sub-division of Choa Chu Kang New Town. Yew Tee is a cluster of Housing and Development Board flats and private condominums, made up of three neighbourhoods in Choa Chu Kang New Town. As a relatively new estate, a large proportion of its residents are young families and middle income earners. ==Etymology and history== ''Yew Tee'' is the name of a village off Woodlands Road. It is also the location of an eponymous MRT station serving the area, which opened in 1996. Yew Tee means "oil pond" in Teochew. The village was so named because oil was stored there during the Japanese Occupation. It was once a bustling village housing more than 300 families, mostly small time farmers who grew vegetables and reared ducks and chickens. Many of the residents moved away when development of the land began in the 1980s.
