Kampong Buangkok
Kampong Buangkok is a village found in mainland Singapore. Built in 1956, it was the last surviving kampong (village) located at Kampong Lorong Buangkok in Hougang, in the north eastern region of Singapore in the 21st century. The future of kampong is unclear. The government has so far not made any request to acquire the land. The owner of the land has made it clear that she does not intend to sell her land to any private developer. But she has to sell the land to the government if required under the state’s existing laws. The MasterPlan 2008 at URA also does not indicate how the land will be used in the future. But a few websites has pointed to an email by Ms Serene Tng of the Urban Redevelopment Authority. She replied in an e-mail message that under the city’s master plan, at an unannounced date Kampong Buangkok will be “comprehensively developed to provide future housing, schools and other neighbourhood facilities.” But for the first time, an article in The New Paper on 14 Jan 2009, officially made the announcement that Kampong Buangkok will indeed be developed into a place with “housing, school, and other neighbourhood facilities supported by a road network”. - Wikipedia
