IHT Article on Kampung Buangkok being slated for "redevelopment"
International Herald Tribune said:
Few people in Singapore know that one village still survives, hidden in trees 180 meters, or 650 feet, from a highway. "Even if I want to show my children how I was brought up, I can't show them," said Ho Why Hong, 50, a taxi driver, as he searched for Kampong Buangkok. "Everything is torn down."
Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "First Seletar, next Buangkok?
Seems like the human soul and Mother Nature really mean nothing to Singapore in the context of money and "development"."
