The planning area is located at the south-western corner of the North-East Region, bordered by the planning areas of Yishun to the north, Sengkang to the nort...
ang mo = red hair, and while the origins of the name are mostly unknown, it’s either referring to caucasians or the rambutan fruit

bridge of expansiveness
Both the original (“red hair bridge”) and the updated name (“bridge of expansiveness and prosperity”) can be transliterated as Ang Mo Kio.
I actually laughed at this (probably the first time in at least a year, at a video.)
