Motorcycle Ride At Kampong Wak Hassan Irau Sungei Simpang Kiri Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang

Heard about these villages in Sembawang long ago but never got around to actually knowing where they were when they existed.
I happen to chance upon some archives with maps, so i made a recce trip down to the area.
Almost immediately i understood what the maps showed as i glance around the landscape, it gave a strong feeling of nostalgia as i've been there once as a little kid.
What remains now are some remnants of the past villages and some closed roads that used to connect the whole area together extensively.
Watch the video to enjoy and discover what i found, let me know in the comments if you have any additional knowledge about the areas i covered, i would so greatly appreciated it. 💖 Enjoy!

I accidentally discovered this area during circuit breaker time when I cycled a lot more to keep myself sane. I could not believe such places still existed in Singapore! Made me so happy and brought back many happy childhood memories. 😊

[@unclegoonschannel]

Yes, these are little treasures on our island that we must cherish. Thanks very much for watching. 💕💕

Nice video brother. Always interested to view rural areas with plenty of greenery.

Kg Wak Hassan was still there in the year 2000. I took a bunch of photos there, knowing that its days were numbered. In the mid-eighties, I used to regularly visit Tg Irau, a lovely quiet spot, off the beaten track. It's such a pity that these do not exist any more 😟

[@unclegoonschannel]

Hi Robbie, thanks for watching! I guess things move on with the times and nothing is permanent. But that area is still a lovely peaceful place to be at during the day, a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Such pockets of tranquility are getting really rare here in Singapore.

[@robbiej2749]

@@unclegoonschannel if you're interested, I could send you a few pics I took of these places in 1985 and 2000. Let me know...

[@unclegoonschannel]

[@ihs51]

In the 60s during year end School holidays my brother and me used to visit Tg Irau and the sea along the shore was so clear and we could see fish swimming nearby😅

[@AlUyami]

It is nice to go back where it was before, thanks for your story telling now i know👌

[@unclegoonschannel]

Thank you for watching 💖

[@utubegeronimo7628]

It is nice to note that some parts of Singapore resembles the Malaysian residential areas like Menglembu, Station 18, First Garden, Jelapang

[@ihs51]

We used to have our “staycation” in one of our friend’s relative at Kg Tg Irau in the 60s😂

[@unclegoonschannel]

Aww..good old days man 💕💕

[@yeshewong3849]

Beside Tg Irau, does kampong tengah ring a bell.

[@unclegoonschannel]

@@yeshewong3849 oh yes. Kg tengah is further inwards along the canal.. nearer to andrews avenue 💕💕

[@yeshewong3849]

In Tg Irau once stay a very famous footballer family and most kampung houses built on stilts due to once in awhile of super high tides of knees deep, a fond memories in the old days

This is a really awesome location and riding a bike would be so much fun. Location is good to film a pontianak movie too

[@unclegoonschannel]

Yes it is indeed a nice place for riding! You can come at night to film your pontianak movie. Chances of capturing a real pontianak is quite high! 😁 Thanks very much for watching. 💕💕

[@Tempest-Proteus]

There used to be a small pulau where during low tide in the ole days we could wade across and in the night using a sampan, the waters between the pulau and mainland, we could catch lots of squids. We Sembawang boys used to enjoy so much in the good ole days.

[@unclegoonschannel]

So very interesting. 💕

Nothing stays the same in this world. Even the present modern changes will become old & vanish when it's time comes.

Yes. That is so true. Nothing is permanent.❤️

I was there a couple of times. Until not long ago, it must have been an outstanding beautiful spot in Singapore. One can still sense the former beauty, but now it is too much cleaned and straightened up.
