Bedok area profile

Overview

Bedok is an East Region planning area of 21.73 square kilometres, running from the Kaki Bukit and Bedok Reservoir side in the north to the coast in the south. Between them lie Bedok's HDB town, the private estates around Siglap and Opera Estate, and a long section of East Coast Park. SingStat recorded 272,120 residents in June 2026, the second-largest population of any planning area after Tampines.
