Wilfred Cheah, 55 years old left the Singapore Armed Forces back in 1993 and delve deeper into the world of interior design as a post-army career and after about 30 years in the industry, he has managed to move to the third phase of his work life which is miniature art. On April 19, Cheah posted a series of photos on his Facebook showing the scene of a miniature house supposedly located in Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The miniature has details from zinc roof to shrubbery and even furniture details in the house.
He named his creation “Build in 1956, Singapore’s last surviving kampong” where the land was acquired in 1956 by Sng Teow Koon, a traditional Chinese medicine seller where he set up a home in the village with his family and then started to rent out the land to people to build homes. The land then was handed down to his children and one of her daughters, Ms. Sng Mui hong continues to live in the village with her nieces. The land on the kampong used to be a swamp and only having around five to six houses. As in the 1960s, the kampong becomes home to roughly 40 families and as Singapore started to modernize, the kampong started to shrink and now only left 28 families of Chinese and Malay ethnicities.
