    Singapore is known for its rapid urban development. In just five decades, the city-state has become a metropolis, with skyscraper office buildings and high-rise apartment blocks and condominiums making up its iconic skyline. But amid the concrete jungle lies a tiny, lush, green traditional village, where a handful of residents maintain a simple and communal way of life. The South China Morning Post paid a visit to Lorong Buangkok kampong

    When I first visited Singapore as a child, virtually everyone lived in kampungs. I fell in love with the place at the time. It was so exotic. I’ve visited Singapore maybe 100 times since and witnessed its development, but it always worried me that none of the old Singapore would be left in its race to modernise. It seems only fairly recently that Singapore has recognised that it has history that should be preserved. And this place must be preserved at all costs!

Our mothers (malays, indians, chinese peranakans) use to sit on a big bench under our butter fruit tree ...folding everyones laundry....sharing coffee n snacks while keeping an eye on their robust and rowdy children playing very physical games like police & thief, catching, skipping etc...unlike the generation of these days who stuck with their mobile phns. 😢😢😢

      The government can certainly touch any land they like, and can pay a token compensation according to the law, although they have been paying higher in more recent cases. And yes, this Kg is sitting on land which is supposed to be a new major road, which is being delayed even though the surrounding towns are getting bigger and bigger.
