Clementi and its surrounding roads have been named after Sir Cecil Clementi, the Governor of the Straits Settlements from 1887 to 1893. A number of important administrative offices and political establishments are located in this area. Clementi is popular among property investors for two main reasons - the relatively cheaper land values and the huge redevelopment processes in the pipeline. The Clementi Planning Area and the Clementi New Town Area are the two main residential areas in the region.
