If you turn off the busy Yio Chu Kang road in north-eastern Singapore and follow a long, earthen path that winds and snakes for about 300m, you will find something of a time capsule. Nestled here, on three acres of verdant land, is Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Singapore s last surviving village, where remnants of the 1960s are alive and well. Little resembles modern-day Singapore s panorama of slick skyscrapers. Instead, the cluster of squat bungalows looks like a vintage postcard of the city s yesteryear.
