The Bukits of Singapore

Our little red dot of an island isn't blessed with much superlative geographical features and skyscrapers dominate our landscape. The highest point of the island is on top of a building in Tanjong Pagar. However, most of us would also know that the highest 'natural' geographical point is on top of Bukit Timah. But have you wondered about the 2nd, 3rd ...etc... highest hills on the island? 

This website is dedicated to the many small and mighty, famous and not so famous Bukits, Mounts and Hills of the land. 

I have tried to compile, as accurate as possible, from published topgraphical maps, and other historical literature, a list of the current tallest and other noteworthy hills in Singapore... (updated 2020-09-05)
