Mount Faber Reaching 105 m above sea level, Mount Faber is the fourth highest point in Singapore. Geologically, it is an extension of the Jurong Triassic sedimentary rock system, which also extends to Sentosa and the Southern Islands (see geology). Mount Faber’s original Malay name was Telok Blangah— meaning ‘cooking pot bay’ in Malay, because of the shape of the bay. The site was renamed Mount Faber in 1845 when Captain Charles Edward Faber established a signal station at the summit. Mount Faber was originally covered in primary rainforest. It was later turned into a 56- ha park. Parts have been regenerated as secondary rainforest, while other sections have been transformed into gardens. The highest point in the park, Faber Point, affords view of the harbour, Sentosa and other islands. Mount Faber is the terminus of the cable- car link with Sentosa.
