This is probably the most photographed kampung house in Pulau Ubin. Many more have been demolished.
Beside the peaceful sunset view, one would find a family of hornbills flying about at the majestic durian tree nearby.
This is a beautiful kampung house nestled in the forest and deeply vulnerable to demolition crews. I always take a picture of it everytime I went by worried it might be the last time. I would tell my ten year nephew the house belongs to Shrek.
Its neighboring houses (below) has already torn down. I wish our Government bureaucrats comes up with more creative ideas like turning them into rain shelters. It will be lovely for tourists to sit in there waiting out the pouring rain.
