Lost Kampongs in Singapore

Today, we do not have one single village left in Singapore and the last kampong - which is a Malay word for village - here was demolished, I cheered because that was the last of the squatters and we achieved that by 1980. We rehoused the total population and it had multiple knock-on effects.

Some of this can be seen in Sarawak of today, indeed. I am sad that Singapore has eradicated everything perceived as not modern, and in the process eradicated a part of the history, culture, and the roots. May be it is not up to me to speak like this. But still, I see these scenes and houses, man ... not everything was worthwhile, but there are some pretty pretty ones.

Am I right to say Jln Damai, Jln Tenaga n Bedok Reservoir Rd were all previously known as Eunos ?. I hv seen Fandi Ahmad several times in Kaki Bkt when I visited a friend who stayed in that area. I dunno y some ppl called it Kampong Batak.

[@sarafiansalleh6200]

yes they were once Eunos and before Eunos was Perseverence Estate that was purchased by Alsagoff

Don't be to attached with material, most people in the video might already move on.. good gov will always build infrastructure will benefit generation to come.

Here you are again... Subtle pro-govn indoctrination?!🤔🤔 Or rather propaganda?

[@xcre8ionx]

@@annamariana8140 nah just telling the fact.. now look at Klang, the 'kampong' washed away by the flood because lack of infrastructure in place.

Anyone use to stay at kampong jalan lorong halwa in the 70s? Beside P.I.E towards changi airport (Toa Payoh) just before Mount Pleasant exit. Theres a big drain villagers used to wash their laundry and a big old well used by all ethnic race young and old to take their bath in the morning and early evening. 😁 If anyone knows Haji Hassan and Hajjah Maimunah that lived beside P.I.E and the only chinese family living in a big brick house among the attap house? That will be awesome mate, if anyone from that village still around. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you Aussie. From your name I guess you are living in OZie now aye. Do you have any old photos while you were here in Singapore?

[@aussierheinhardt4390]
