Tengah New Town 登加新城

以前晚餐后常会经过这建屋发展局展览大厅，就不时知道HDB 推出的新建房计划。

When I was staying in Toa Payoh, I used to pass by Singapore Housing Development Board (HDB) HQ gallery often after my dinner, and thus I get to know latest township development in Singapore.

搬离大巴窑就只能透过新闻了解新加坡最新城镇发展了。

So after moving out from Toa Payoh, @auleo only manage to know the latest township development via TV news.

前几年在马新边界大力打广告、由中国开发商碧桂园建设的森林城市，不断主打“新加坡旁”，其实我不大看好这计划，因为是全填海的人造岛，且是在码头的出口。

Recent year, at the border between Malaysia and Singapore, there is this mega township named Forest City developed by Chinese company Country Garden. In their advertisement, they always stressed the point "next to Singapore", but to me, not so optimistic at this project first they are all built on artificial island and secondly it's just located next to a busy port- Tanjung Pelepas.

不过那波森林城市的大肆宣传的确是有威慑作用，不久后新加坡也推类似的森林城市，@auleo觉得有点像港剧《创世纪》里的无烟城，名字叫Tengah 登加，也是主打地面无交通工具的环保城。

But they did make a great effort in promoting this Forest City where you can see their advertisements everywhere. Not so long later, Singapore HDB then lauched the similar forest-city-concept new township, named after Tengah, which is also aim in car-free town.

Tengah 字面上马来语是正中、中间的意思，中文应该译为登雅会更好，符合马来语的发音。登加Tengah 坐落于蔡港与裕廊间，其实不在新加坡正中，森林正中比较准确，所以就符合了现代绿生活的要求。

Tengah in Malay language means "center", which pronounced as "Deng-Ngah", @auleo do have little comment on its chinese name translation. Tengah located between Chua ChuKang & Jurong, but not geographically center of Singapore. Its proximity to the forest nevertheless do fulfill the greenery lifestyle of modern day.

展览厅一旁还有榜鹅Punggol 的大蓝图，那是前一个建屋发展局大力发展的新市镇，@auleo 不常到那里，来新这么多年去哪里的次数一只手数的完，对那里不熟悉，也不会考虑搬到那里，毕竟它的地理环境就在大马新山重工业区与化学品码头的正对岸。。

There is another township showcase in the HDB gallery- Punggol Town, which is the previous township that was heavily promoted by HDB. @auleo not been there often and not familiar with the new town. And will not consider moving there as its location is just opposite the heavy & chemical industrial park in Johor Bahru.
