Enggor Street, Singapore
Enggor Street is a minor road in the southern part of downtown Singapore. It runs in a single direction, beginning at the intersection with Anson Road (across from Palmer Road), and ending at the intersection with Cantonment Road (across from Cantonment Link). The road was named after a place in Perak, Malaysia.
Enggor Street was created in 1898, at the same time as other streets branching out from Anson Road which were all named after places in then Malaya.

If you wish to learn more about the streets of Singapore, I recommend that you get a copy of the Toponymics: A Study of Singapore Street Names (Geography & Environment Research) by Victor R. Savage and Brenda S.A. Yeoh (Eastern Universities Press by Marshall Cavendish, ISBN 981 210 364 3). It helped me a lot in broadening my knowledge of the streets, and made it more fun when I explored and get to know them personally.
