Singapore Last Kampong

Last Sunday I brought my son for the arts club holiday drawing outing....the location - Singapore Last kampong - Kampong Lorong Buangkok. Surprisingly the place is only 5 mins drive away from NYP - off Yio Chu Kang rd.


This landed kampong belonged t0 an old lady, who have refused to sell off the land for years...eventually she finally was persuaded to sell and land and the fate of the kampong is now sealed - they will be torn down soon and it caught the news and then suddenly there is a rush to visit the Singapore last kampong before it finally disappear to make way for development.


So with the permission of the land lord lady, we went into the kampong and see for ourselves the actual condition of the kampong...and spend 3 hours inside for drawing lesson for the children.


Less than a stone's throw across the monsoon drain - private landed property....what a contrust to the rundown rural state of the kampong.


Televsion seems to be the highest technology item in the kampong.



Had afew mosquitoes bites despite putting on OFF!...but still its a worth the trip. :)
