Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Lorong Buangkok is the last surviving kampung on mainland Singapore. The “1954” on the street sign here does not refer to the year the kampung was founded, but rather, the old postal code of the area. Who’s old enough to remember that postal codes in Singapore used to be 4 digits instead of the current 6 digits? I do! While Singapore develops itself into an urban cosmopolitan city with skyscrapers, high-rise condominiums, apartments, the historic Kampong Lorong Buangkok still stands strong and remains untouched. Known as the last surviving kampong in Singapore, it is surrounded by a modern housing development. A visit here would remind you of the olden Singapore, where life was possibly simpler and carefree. #happylaborday #rediscoversg #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer #ontheroad
