The Bedok planning area as delineated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in 1994 is bounded by Siglap Canal, Marine Parade Road, Still Road, Jalan Eunos, Eunos Link and Airport Road to the west, the Paya Lebar Airport boundary to the north and the Bedok Canal to the east. Encompassing an area of approximately 2,157 ha, it includes within its boundaries sub-zones such as Kaki Bukit, Kembangan, Frankel and Siglap. Part of the Bedok planning area was reclaimed as part of the massive East Coast Reclamation Scheme Phase 1. Old Bedok Road in 1930 was a rather narrow country road with little traffic and laden with coconut trees on both sides. The Simpang Bedok Village, which stood on high ground, offered a good view of the Singapore Strait. Its inhabitants were mostly Malay and Chinese fishermen. The reclamation of Bedok in the 1960s led many fishermen to turn to other means of earning a living, such as selling cigarettes, food and drinks.
