Pasir Panjang Road, which once hugged the coastline, was laid down as far as the Jurong River by John Turnbull Thomson by 1850.

When fully completed in 2009, it is expected to raise PSA's container handling capacity by a further 18 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) per year.

The terminal is slated to cease operations by the year 2040 when the Tuas Megaport is completed and all of PSA assets will be transferred to the new port.

Poh Ern Shih Temple (报恩寺) was built in 1954 by the famous businessman and devoted Buddhist, Mr Lee Choon Seng.

The Buddhist temple was dedicated to Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva and was built as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the Battle of Pasir Panjang in 1942.
