About
Jurong is region located in south-western Singapore. The region’s extent roughly covers the planning
areas of Jurong East, Jurong West, Boon Lay and Pioneer, along with Jurong Island in the Western
Islands cluster and the southernmost portions of the Western Water Catchment. Jurong also covers
several offshore islands as well, including Pulau Damar Laut and Pulau Samulun.

Jurong was largely industrialised in the early 1960s in a response to the general economic situation
of post-war Singapore. Today, the rapid growth and much development of Jurong has led it to
become one of the most densely-populated industrial areas in the city-state.

Jurong is home to two prominent rivers, Sungei Jurong and Sungei Pandan, both of which flow into
two larger water bodies, Jurong Lake and Pandan Reservoir respectively.

The highest elevation point in the region is Jurong Hill, which is located close to the centre of the
industrial estate at Jurong.
