What is Jurong?
[[File:Soon Lee Bus Park and Jurong Industrial Estate aerial view.jpg|thumb|A view of the Jurong Industrial Estate]] '''Jurong''' (裕廊) is a town in the western side of [[Singapore]]. It used to be a [[swamp]] until the [[1960s]], when [[Goh Keng Swee]], a [[Minister (government)|minister]], together with the [[United Nations]], cleared the swamps, making Jurong an industrial estate (a place where [[Industry|industries]] are built to make goods). Jurong is divided in [[Jurong East]], where houses and shops are built and [[Jurong West]], mainly an industrial estate. Jurong East is under the [[Jurong Group Representation Constituency]] or Jurong GRC, while Jurong West is under the West Coast Group Representation Constituency. Jurong is connected to [[Johor Bahru]] by the Second-Link at [[Tuas]]. Jurong has the [[Jurong Bird Park]] and Chinese Gardens. {{Places in Singapore}} {{geo-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Places in Singapore]]
