Lost Kampong in Singapore - Part 2

Place and street names in Singapore demonstrate the power of landscape materiality. The old street names of Singapore carried with them political, economic, social, religious and cultural representations of personalities, people, communities, activities and nation builders. Please feel free to share any road names that I have missed ‘with pictures’ if possible. Thank you so much my friends.

Apebile terdengar cerite² dari orang lame² atuk moyang pernah berkate melayu disingapura tidak dapat menguasai tanah air sendiri oleh kerana sikap pentingkan diri dan tidak mampu memimpin bangsa sendiri.. Sedih nya akhir orang berbangsa cina mengambil alih kuase secara mutlak... Diharapkan malaysia pun janganlah bergitu walaupun kite tahu malaysia pun ade juga sikap² orang² kite seperti itu... Jadikan pengajaran kite melihat singapura.. 😥😥

Everything involved Malay or kampung totally and completely gone forever for the decade. Lost and gone like gone with a wind...

Saya pernah menyewa bilik kat Lorong Bengkok off Upper Serangoon Rd. Sekarang sy kat Muar Johor. Terkenang memori lama semasa di Singapura dulu sgt mengamit rindu

Arus pembangunan memang tidak dapat dielakkan. Cuma rasa terkilan kerana cara hidup di perumahan HDB tidak dapat menggantikan suasana dan budaya kehidupan kampung. Jiran2 sudah tidak kenal satu dgn yg lain, masing2 tutup pintu dan tidak ada kemesraan. Saya tinggal di kampung 20 tahun dan di flat 30 tahun, tapi jiran2 dari rumah kampung begitu ramai , seperti sahabat dan kekal mesra hingga sekarang. Jiran2 dari rumah flat tiada satu pun yg rapat. Terasa kekosongan suasana di rumah flat.

As a Gen Y Millennial, I have never lived in a Kampong and only get to see them in pics and videos like this. I might be the rare one here but I absolutely love vintage stuff and I love exploring old Singapore/colonial Malaya period. Life then was not always a bed of roses and surely had its thorns but from what I hear and see of that era, it had its charm and alas it is gone forever. May we eternalise and cherish them in our memories. Thank you for sharing this!

Zaman beredar suasana berubah. Tak boleh nak dibandingkan atau dikesalkan. Kalau pun kampung masih kekal, orang2 yang hadhir dizaman silam takkan kembali lagi.

Anyone here from Kampong lorong Halwa near P.I.E (towards changi airport) before Mount Pleasant exit. The entrance originally from the back of ISD detention centre or thru onraet road near old cisco training academy. My late grand father Mr Hj Hassan and late grandmother Mdm Hjjh Maimunah house located nearest to P.I.E which theres a big longkang where the whole stretch of kampong residents used it to wash laundry becos of the clean clear water. There are a big well near the location whereby all residents from all walks of life gather to collect water and kids bathing there. They relocate to the old 12 storey design blocks at toa payoh lorong 1 after my grandfather passed away. 👍👍👍👍👍
