Kerbay Road

Again, what does the name 'Kerbau' Road suggest about the main activity on this road?

Kerbau means buffalo in malay and it reflects the fact that cattle trade in this area was vibrant where cattle was reared due to its easy access to the nearby slaughterhouses.

Who do you think was the main community residents and working in this area? What were they selling?

They were Indians who did business using gingerly oil machines. They sold flower garlands, loose flowers, oil lamps and coconuts etc.
