Kampong Wak Selat through my Eyes

Selat was a household brandname. A direct translation of the Persian word Selat will be Straits. There are so many places here in Singapore that are associated with Selat. I am here to revisit Kampong Wak Selat because right opposite the Straits of Johor is Sungai Temon; the settlement of Orang Seletar whom were once 'Singapurians'. I hope you enjoy this video. Please share with me your inputs. Whatever you hear me say is just my own opinion backed by some sources and oral records. I am sure you have your story so do tell me. I am all ears. Thank you

Hi Bro. Nice to hear from you again. There are still a few places not known to many. The rate of modernization has made us moved ahead so quickly and forget the foundations of our forefathers.

Kalau tak silap Singapura juga di gelar PULAU UJUNG selain Temasek.

[@sarafiansalleh6200]

Iyya benar abang. Sebab is terletak di hujung Semenanjung Asia. Orang Cina panggil Pulau Ujung sebagai ‘Pu Lochong atau Silat Po. Silat Po itu ialah ‘Pulau Selat’

Sejarah yang hampir pupus dan lama kelamaan akan dipupuskan buat selama lama nya sehingga jenarasi sekarang tidak mengetahui bagaimana asal usulnya. Terus terang, saya sendiri tidak mengetahui bahawasanya ada makan disekitar situ. Terima kasih dengan informasinya.

ALhamdulillah sama sama bro. Singapura secara am, memang banyak terdapat kubur2 dan makam2 yang kita tak terambil berat. Banyak kubur terdiri pada berbilang bangsa tiada tanda/nisan. Bayangkan ramai askar2 Jepun yang mati di tanah air kita hanya ditanam dengan tiada apa2 nisan.

From the Malay word 'selat' comes this word 'Selatan' Pulau Singapura..the 'Southern' tip of Malaysia. There is why Singapore is also known as Pulau Hujung tip top of the Royal State of Johor Darul Takzim(Johor obsequiousness & respect)...Daulat Tuanku!

[@sarafiansalleh6200]

Thank you for your views and perspectives bro Simon. Yes I am learning something from you now. Cheers

[@torrid94]
