      same here in indonesia, the reason why it became a tourist attraction cause singapore is so frickin small and for the existence of village is gonna be super rare in the future, so thats why it became a tourist attraction cause its the left few remaining villages that still exist in these modern day

    When I first visited Singapore as a child, virtually everyone lived in kampungs. I fell in love with the place at the time. It was so exotic. I’ve visited Singapore maybe 100 times since and witnessed its development, but it always worried me that none of the old Singapore would be left in its race to modernise. It seems only fairly recently that Singapore has recognised that it has history that should be preserved. And this place must be preserved at all costs!

I love his quotes about why modern arts love abstract, not like the old times when artists painted sceneries.

And it was in the kampongs i saw the chinese plays, the indian dancing school for girls. What a rich and beautiful place where Malays, Indian's and Chinese can all live together in unity.
