Bukit Merah

Bukit Merah is a hill in Singapore. Previously, it was a much larger hill that was situated at the present site of Henderson housing estate, which lies opposite the Delta Sports Complex. There was a Chinese cemetery on the reverse side of the hill. The hill was trimmed to its current state in 1973 with the surrounding kampong being demolished to make way for the current Redhill Close. The present Bukit Merah Secondary School and Henderson Secondary School are also located in this area. The nearest MRT station is Redhill. The area surrounding this hill forms the Bukit Merah planning area, one of the 55 urban planning areas under the Urban Redevelopment Authority, in the Central Region.
