This weekend, I joined for Nor Syazwan Bin Abdul Majid’s Kampong Clean-Up. Wan is responsible for Wans Ubin Journal, an online community organization motivated by his desire to maintain the community that lives in the Malay Kampong on Singapore’s last rural respite, the island of Pulau Ubin.

The aesthetics, form, and planning for the area have set the tone for the Singapore heartlands. It followed Queenstown’s lead by becoming the second public housing satellite town, and the first to be planned and built entirely by the Housing & Development Board (HDB).
