Tucked away in Hougang, Kampong Lorong Buangkok is Singapore’s last surviving mainland kampung, a living time capsule in the middle of modern life. Built in 1956 on former swampland, it’s home to around 20 families today, still holding onto zinc roofs, muddy paths, and kampung spirit. Once nicknamed Kampong Selak Kain for its flood-prone grounds, it now stands as a rare, living glimpse of old Singapore, though its future remains uncertain.
