This 1993 photograph shows Tembeling Road (at Joo Chiat Lane corner). It shows a view of an open field with kampong houses in the background. Two road signs bearing the names of Tembeling Road and Joo Chiat Lane can be seen in the middle of the photograph. Tembeling Road may be named after the Malay word for a species of fish, ikan tembelian. Title devised by library staff.
