Fabric collage: Kampong






"Nothing beats living in my fishing village by the sea in Bedok, I could see the beach, the coconut trees and enjoy the sea breeze."
- Mr Yusof, 69
Fishing, attap houses and wooden cottages are common subjects that patients in Jurong Community Hospital often bring up when they reminisce about their growing up years in the 60s when kampongs and fishing villages were a common sight in Singapore.
*A kampong (spelt kampung in Malay and Indonesian) is a traditional village in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore and Cambodia.
