Pasir Ris gets its name from the stretch of white sandy beaches in the estate’s proximity. 🏖️🏖️ “Pasir” means “sand” in Malay, and “Ris” is the shortened form of “Hiris”, meaning “to shred”. Formerly an undeveloped kampung area, #PasirRis was home to many plantations. 🌳🌳 Today, the area houses landmarks such as Downtown East, Pasir Ris Park and White Sands Shopping Centre. 🌇 Tell us what you love ❤️about your neighbourhood, and watch this space to see if your neighbourhood will be featured
