Kampong Lorong Buang Kok, one of the last kampongs left on Singapore island.

There used to be an old kampong sitting on a minute plot of land between to roads that lead to a fork near my house. It's been gone for almost 10 years now, but i still remember it clearly. Looks just like in those pictures, only there was only enough room for one medium-sized shack or sorts. It was right next to a busy main road and a public bus stop. SO weird. It's like, on one side you see busy urban singapore and on the uther you see an old 'one-family kampong'. You don't even have to turn your head to include both in your view.... so strange and surreal...

There's one lonely kampong house by the road, in the forests by Holland Road.
There's another at Pierce Road.Ironically that is a high-class housing estate.

Er.....I got to visit that kampong, albeit in uniform! :D

Anyway I just moved this into the urban section....as it should be. ;)

huh! where is it?!

There's a few more left on Pulau Ubin.

They are inhabited thou.

inhabited or uninhabited?

Some are still inhabited, huai. ;)

you got those pics from the SPI website..are they supposed to be haunted or what?

Some are still inhabited, huai. ;)
Er...sory i meant uninhabited. The main village is empty, except for the retail outlets, as well as a few isolated homes elsewhere in the island lah.

Disappearing Singapore

Singapore is best known for its modern, air-conditioned shopping malls and high-rise apartment blocks. It is still possible to find Kampung (village) life but you have to search hard for it nowadays. This small village is in the heart of the island surrounded by modern development.

Yes there are.....I know for sure coz I visited it about a month ago (while in uniform...muahahah) :D

why do people continue living in kampongs?

why do people continue living in kampongs?
Er....because no one has forced them to evict yet?

I located several kampong houses, trapped in the time warp of urbanised Singapore!

They are at:

50 Logong G Telok Kurau

6 Logong L Telok Kurau

Lorong H Telok Kurau (missed the house number)

277 & 279 Joo Chiat Place

where exactly is Telok Kurau?

Would Seletar Farm have kampongs?

Telok Kurau is based around Telok Kurau Road. It is at Katong. :)

Still got numerous bungalow there, including some kampong houses. Worth checking out. :)

Telok Kurau?? Itsnt it just rows and rows of low rise housing?

Oh, no!

I found 4 kampong houses there in just 1 day of weaving in and out of the Lorongs! :nono: :D

And I'm not done yet! :D
Maybe I'll go back this Sunday or a few weeks later!

are u going to take pics?

I always thought Telok Kurau was in the west!

I wish I had a digicam! :cry:

huhuhuh telok kurau got kampong?!

The kampong is gone, but the houses are still there. ;)
