Something an anonymous person wrote on Mat's blog gave Mat a Eureka. Remember or not the PISS: Geylang blog. This is version lumber 2.
Version Lumber 2: Orang Gallang
Another possible origin to Geylang is the early presence of the fierce orang gallang tribe, one of the many orang laut tribal groups that lived along the coasts and rivers of Singapore island. The orang gallang were well-known for their piracy and pillaging of helpless craft in seas around Singapore island.
Maybe ah, the same thing happen to Kallang like what happen to Geylang. Geylang Serai suppose to be Kilang Serai kena bastardized. Mat will relac one corner and ponder.
YESSAH!
