What's in the name of a HDB Flat Estate?

While I was exclaiming at the simultaneous release of 8,200 HDB flats into the market, and the name of a new studio-flats estate in Jurong West (for elderly folks, I guess) called Golden Peony (How cheena is that? Just like its cousin called Golden Lotus in Toa Payoh.), an eagle-eyed friend highlighted something else much more intriguing.

Also part of the newly-announced 8,200 flats, a brand-new HDB estate in Sengkang is named 'Anchorvale Harvest'.

Below is the screen grab from HDB's website.

The webpage explains why the word 'Harvest' is used in the name of this estate. 

"The name Anchorvale Harvest reflects its location in the Anchorvale area and mimics the imagery of a fisherman casting his net into the sea for the harvest. The abundance of a harvest also relates to the meaning of Sengkang which denotes 'prosperous harbour'."

Of course, Sengkang was indeed a fishing port many years ago.

Let's take a closer look at the official logo for Anchorvale Harvest:

Immediately, that fish catches the eye.
A fish without its usual scales and a complete tail looks a lot like the Ichthys, i.e. more commonly known as the Jesus fish.

The Ichthys is also a common sight in Singapore. You may notice some cars in Singapore displaying car decals which look like this:

More interestingly, my friend found these few paragraphs from the book entitled "Beyond description: Singapore space historicity" by Ryan Bishop, John Phillips, and Wei-Wei Yeo, rather plainly stating the Methodist Church's interest and stake in Sengkang.

"...Sengkang is seen as "a great harvest field, waiting for the CAC [the Chinese Annual Congress which governs the Chinese- and dialect-service Methodist churches] to plow, sow and reap souls for Christ" (Lai 2000:1)."

Now... Really... Only the HDB officers, who came up with and approved the name and logo, will know whether the name and logo of this HDB estate in Sengkang just happen to coincide with Christian/Methodist interest or not.

All I know is that I haven't heard of any HDB estates with names which vaguely sound like 'Tua Peh Kong Vista', 'Mercy Vale', 'Om Gardens', 'Compassion Court' etc. O_o
