  • To get to the kampong, you can enter Lorong Buangkok via Buangkok Crescent or Gerald Drive (off Yio Chu Kang Road). The entrance to the kampong is quite inconspicuous except for a small signboard.
    The 12,248-square-metre plot of land, approximately the size of three football fields, belongs to Sng's children. The land was inherited by his two sons and two daughters after his death in 1997.
    Madam Sng Mui Hong, who owns the land that the kampung sits on. The 68-year-old's father, traditional Chinese medicine seller Sng Teow Koon, acquired the former swampland in 1956 and leased the land to the families who first settled there.
    Kampong Lorong Buangkok was settled by a mixture of Malaysians and Chinese. The residents enjoy a slower pace of life and strong sense of community.
    Etymology. The namesake road Lorong Buangkok was named Buangkok, meaning "ten thousand countries", after the rubber plantation company Singapore United Rubber Plantations Limited's Chinese name "Multi Nations" (万国) in Teochew.
