Myra is located along Meyappa Chettiar Road, giving vehicle owners direct access to Upper Serangoon Road

Nestled by the historic corridor of Upper Serangoon Road, Myra allows residents to enjoy a lifestyle that blends modern and ancient

Myra Residences is located along Meyappa Chettiar Road, leading directly to Upper Serangoon Road. This is the main road to help vehicle owners travel easily. Unlike Chinatown, Little India or Kampong Glam, few people associate Upper Serangoon Road with heritage. However, it has been reported that the Housing Council will invest an estimated $9.5 million to develop a 4.2-kilometer stretch of heritage corridor. Planned features include a market square to host activities, like the former Simon Street Market in the area, as well as storyboards to pay homage to the area's past. Indeed, the road has a history of nearly 200 years. As George Yeo (former GRC MP of Aljunied) said of this heritage project in 2011: "Upper Serangoon Road has always been a main corridor connecting the old city center with the northeast of Singapore, thus being connected by the Strait of Johor with the Johor River and the sea."

Along with Serangoon Road, a radial arterial road connecting the city with Hougang real estate, cuts through Serangoon's land-based homes and shops and Kovan's condominiums. At its northeast end is the former port of Kangkar ("estuary"). The area is one of three counties, including Sembawang and Upper Thomson, where most of the Teochews from China's Guangdong province settled during colonial times.

One of them is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Queen, which is 162 years old. It originated here in 1852 as a small chapel, before becoming a full church in 1910 to cater to a growing Teochew Catholic community, mainly farmers from Serangoon and Punggol. The church still exists to this day, serving about 7,000 worshipers, and there is a Mass celebrated at Teochew every Saturday.

The road also boasts two national monuments proclaimed in 2005 - the 162-year-old church and the Temple of Kew Ong Yah (Nine Emperors), completed by the Hokkiens in 1921 on land owned by the pineapple magnate, Ong Chwee Tow donated.

Anecdotal documents and temple inscriptions say that the temple began as an altar in the Lorong Chuan home of Ong Choo Kee, an immigrant from Nan'an district, Fujian province. Down the road from the temple are the Haji Yusoff Mosque built in 1921 and the St Paul's Cathedral built in 1936. Other historic buildings in the area have been given a new life, such as the former Sin Min School. It's been a half-baked home for drug addicts since 1990, called Helping Hands.

Dr Yeo said reusing old premises is one way to preserve the feel of Upper Serangoon Road, although he agrees with HDB's plan. He says he is not opposed to redevelopment but that any redevelopment should not change the landscape overnight. It should be done slowly.
