| Sumario: | The most significant aspect of living in a kampong was its kampong spirit-or gotong royong. Though deprived of modern comforts like electricity or running water, multi-racial neighbours lived harmoniously with each other in their attap villages, had a wonderful zest for life and a strong sense of community.

The period 1955 to 1965 was also a dramatic era for Singapore. As the country struggled towards nationhood, the social and political. |
