Malay Kampong

Excerpts from Waller (2001)

"Pulau Ubin also has one of only two Malay kampongs remaining in the Republic. This consists of houses strung along the south-eastern coastline, many of which are stilted. The mosque survives complete with its bedok (drum). A gaol with rusting iron bars has recently vanished, and many of the outlying houses are deserted or destroyed."

[Editor's note: This information is rather outdated since it was probably from more than 4-5 years ago. According to Sivasothi, "unfortunately, by mid-2001, the kampung was flattened and most of the residents resettled."]
