The Verge, formerly Tekka Mall, was the first and largest modern shopping mall at the Little India precinct in Singapore. It was opened in 2003. The Verge had two buildings, the main building and Chill @ The Verge. It was located in the southern part of Little India, with the main building located at the junction of Serangoon Road and Sungei Road and the Chill @ The Verge at the junction of Perak Road and Sungei Road. Both of the buildings were separated by Clive Street and the mall lies opposite of Tekka Centre across Serangoon Road. The complex was demolished in 2017 to make way for redevelopment after 14 years of operation, making it one of the youngest malls in Singapore to shut its doors.
