Jalan Eunos, Singapore
Jalan Eunos is a 1.4-kilometre road in Singapore that stretches from Eunos Link in the north to Still Road, at the junction with Changi Road, in the south. It lies in Postal District 14 and serves as a boundary separating Geylang Planning Area to the west from the Bedok Planning Area to the east.

Street Description
Jalan Eunos is a bustling thoroughfare lined with a mix of residential apartments, shophouses, and small businesses. The road is moderately busy, connecting northern residential estates to the commercial areas near Changi Road and East Coast Road. Along its route, it intersects with smaller residential lanes and provides access to a diverse community with a blend of old and new architecture.
History of Jalan Eunos
The road is named after Mohamed Eunos Abdullah (1876–1933), a Malay political leader and journalist who played a prominent role in early 20th-century Singapore. He was the first Malay representative on the Legislative Council and championed Malay rights, particularly in housing and education. The naming of Jalan Eunos pays tribute to his legacy, and nearby Eunos estate also bears his name. In common spelling, the name is pronounced as "Yoo-nos", and in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it is /ˈjuːnɒs/.
Character of the Street
Today, Jalan Eunos reflects the multicultural character of the eastern part of Singapore. The road features a blend of HDB flats, low-rise private housing, and conservation shophouses. Traditional eateries and workshops sit alongside modern cafes, reflecting the evolving lifestyle of the neighbourhood. While parts of the street are busy with vehicular traffic, the adjoining residential lanes provide a quieter atmosphere for families.
