The last of the roots

This photographic series dives deep into Kampong Lorong Buangkok the last surviving kampong (village) in Singapore. It is located in the northeastern part of the island, in the Sungei Kadut planning area. The kampong is home to about 30 families, a mix of Malays and Chinese. The residents live in traditional wooden houses on stilts, and many of them still make a living from farming and fishing.The kampong has been threatened with demolition several times over the years, but the residents have successfully fought to preserve their way of life.
