The Bukits of Singapore

Our little red dot of an island isn't blessed with much superlative geographical features. Skyscrapers dominate our landscape and the highest point of the island is on top of a building in Tanjong Pagar. Most of us, however, will know that the highest 'natural' geographical point is on top of Bukit Timah. But have you wondered about what are 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 topgraphical maps, historical literature, and some measurements that I carried out, a list of the current tallest and other noteworthy hills in Singapore...
