The fate of Kampong Buangkok

The picture I drew is an illustration of kampong Buangkok which is the one and only surviving kampong in mainland Singapore. This particular Malay kampong has a rich cultural history of over 60 years and I think that in 10 years’ time this kampong will be made way for future developments. Although the government has not yet acquired the land of kampong Buangkok, but I believe it soon will. Well, I really hope my prediction is wrong and that the government would still want to preserve its heritage as this one and only kampong can serve as a teaching ground for our future generations that their forefathers previous livelihood and learn more about the history of Singapore.
