I have always wondered what Pasir Ris means... Today I find out. In Malay Pasir Ris means white sand.(Now I understand why there is a White Sands mall!) Maybe the sand was whiter last time, or maybe because there is a good beach?So many people live in Pasir Ris.Pasir Ris includes Elias and Loyang. Pasir Ris comes under the Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC. The current minister is Mr Teo Chee Hean. There are quite a few condos being built now and there are also a few resorts. The malls include White Sands mall, NTUC Downtown East, E-Hub shopping mall,Elias mall and Loyang Point.There are also many primary and secondary schools there.
