Khatib is a subzone of Yishun, Singapore. It is bounded by Yishun Avenue 1/2/3 to the south, east and north respectively, and Sembawang Road to the west.
Khatib was named after the nearby Sungei Khatib Bongsu, located in Yishun East Subzone. The name "Khatib" originates from Arabic (Arabic: خاطب), referring to the person who delivers the sermon during Friday prayers and Eid Prayers. In most of the early- and mid-20th century Khatib was mostly used for pineapple, rubber and gambier plantations owned by Lim Nee Soon, from which Yishun residential town is named.[2]
