Road Episode 2: Jalan Sungei Poyan

TPS Timothy Mok SG

Jalan Sungei Poyan, another next episode will feature a road from Old Choa Chu Kang Road all the way to Pasir Laba Road, as Lorong Danau has prepared already.

I just made public suggestion - route 172 extension onto Jalan Sungei Poyan onto sgforums.

There's already a transport for that. its called the 5 ton.

If u even try to drive a non off-road vehicle into the area, i can guarantee u cant get out of the place. The road is not even paved.

Scania SG

what is 5 ton?

A military jargon used to denote trucks which can carry up to 5 tons of load. In the SAF, it is usually a MAN 16.484 LAERC.

Another question: If you drive a car, motorcycle, taxi, or bus in, what is going to happen?

jaan sungei poyan... its live firing area.. i been there before.. went to fire the GPMG..
the view there is marvellous... quiet and tranquil. the horizon u can see the second link. foreground, its like a lagoon or a quarry (cos fire down from a hilltop).

its like the poyan reservoir, TG Skopek area at the western live firing range.
hope you guys get to see it when u enter or during your NS.

PS. when i went to the jln sungei poyan, we went by the private hire bus.. normal tyres.. not by tonner.

bus... if ferry army kia.. ok lo..
if contractors.. also ok lo...

but dont risk la.. later get arrested lim kopi..

theres a gate to the area... the one just opposite the shooting centre.. dont think nu can enter it...

XiaoTaro SG

I think u might be mistaken, thats not jalan sungei poyan, thats actually one of the pasir laba ranges.

If u are going to enter from jalan sungei poyan to that range, prepare to enjoy a very bumpy ride on whatever vehicle.

Its however possible to enter till a limited area via jalan sungei poyan, the last time i remember theres dump trucks doing construction or something. But its not possible to go through till pasir laba road.
