Yishun
Yishun, originally Nee Soon, developed from plantations to a residential town, with Canberra as a subzone
Yishun, originally named Nee Soon after businessman Lim Nee Soon, transitioned from rubber and pineapple plantations to a residential area in the 1970s. It was renamed Yishun, the Mandarin version of Nee Soon. Canberra, a subzone of Sembawang in Yishun, developed into a residential neighborhood with modern amenities, contributing to the area's growth and urbanization.
