This is the last Kampong in Singapore, located in Lorong Buangkok (Just Beside the Institute of Mental Health) There have been a lot of rumors saying that the Government of Singapore have intention to tear down the place. However after so many years, it still there. As one of the Resident there told me that the Government is negotiating with the land owner, but the owner refused to sell the land due to most of the resident there are paying low monthly rental (like: $10 -$50 per month.)
The life there seems very simple, however the hygiene level over there is really very bad. while i was there shooting i feed a lot of mosquito too. (lol..) anyway for anyone is planning to visit there, just for your information the resident over there does not really like to take pictures, when they sees you holds a camera they tends to run away. But one of the resident told me that due to the reporters have been coming here very often to interview them. Well just try to be friendly after all there is not your territory
