During the development of Jurong Industrial Estate, the roads were renamed to English that ply the area especially those near Jalan Buroh. Pioneer Road was Jalan Besi (Malay: Metal Road), while Pioneer Road North was Jalan Bandaran (Malay: Town Road) and Pioneer Circus was Bulatan Besi (Bulatan means Circle or Circus).
