This road is named after Lim Boon Keng, a man who was inspired to be a doctor after his parents’ death. He studied very hard and was the first Chinese to clinch the Queen’s Scholarship. When he started his practice, he offered free medical treatment to those who couldn’t afford it.

Before the 20th century, Chinese girls weren’t encouraged to attend school and as such, many of them were illiterate. To remedy this, he co-founded the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School in 1899 to educate Chinese women living in the Straits Settlements.
