1. Kampong Lorong Buangkok
Unfortunately, in modern-day Singapore, there are no such places left and what remains of this monument of culture is in the form of The Last Kampong.
Kampong Lorong Buangkok is the only existing kampong in Singapore which resides in the heart of the modern and developed city of Singapore. I am not joking in saying that, each time I enter this village, I feel like I am in the 1960s before the city civilization took its current modern status. The exteriors are wooden houses with zinc roofs, there are a lot of trees around and no skyscrapers that significantly distinguish this area from the rest of the city. It is not just a destination to visit, but a place where people get to live and learn how they used to live a few decades back.
Here, you get to interact with the people and learn from them as most have been living in the kampong houses for several decades and witnessed the transition of Singapore to modernization where most families lived in the kampong houses.
