Penhas Road Singapore (Jun 2024)Penhas Road is a minor road in the Kallang planning area of Singapore. It connects Horne Road to Lavender Street. The road was named after Rahamin Penhas (who died in 1946), a wealthy Jewish merchant with Iraqi roots, who developed three shophouses along Lavender Street. This stretch of road was originally also part of French Road, but was renamed in 1929 in his honour, based on a promise made by R.J. Farrer, who was then the President of the Municipality, to Penhas.1
