Part 6/10:
Through his journey, Leslie reflects on the impermanence of infrastructure: the railway lines long removed, factories fading into memories, and the original HDB blocks slated for destruction. The loss isn’t just physical; it’s the erasure of memories, traditions, and the kampung spirit that once thrived here.
He visits Singapore's first community museum in Queenstown, where artifacts and stories detail the neighborhood’s past. Victor, one of the volunteers, recounts how residents organized “feral parties” in nostalgic homage, displaying photographs and memorabilia. These acts of remembrance underscore the community’s desire to preserve their history even as the physical structures vanish.
