Did you know?

Why is one-north mrt station so name?

Because that place called one-north mah!

Ya la, but why is that place called one-north?

Actually the name is picked cos the coordinates is 1°N i.e. One degree North, meaning that we are just 1 degree north of the equator. i remember that place was like EXACTLY 1 degree north, but i can't find the gps coordinates of the place (plus that place a bit big). Yup, so now you know.

 

A/N: I saw this piece of info when we were visiting that area for some social studies field trip way back in like sec 4. There was some exhibit (YES! EXHIBIT!) by jtc explaining the development of the place etc...

Google Translate…

Is really hilarious at times...
