Singapore has always been known for its strict laws and law-abiding citizens.
But you know what? Singapore also has "nail households", in a small village in the city, valued at up to S$70 million, but the owner still insists on not selling.
Today, the know-it-all will tell you the story of this "nail household"~
Singapore's most bullish "nail household"
The urban village is worth S$70 million
The owner is adamant not to sell
I don't know if you have ever heard the term "kampong" after living in Singapore for many years?
"Kampong" is a Malay word meaning "village" or "village". Kampong was once a common form of traditional living in Singapore and Malaysia, with residents mostly living in simple wooden or slab houses surrounded by natural environments such as farmland, coconut palms, banana groves, etc. Kampung culture emphasizes close-knit community relationships, and residents often share a deep sense of friendship and mutual help with each other.
In the early years, kampong in Singapore was everywhere. But with the advancement of urbanization, most kampongs are gradually being replaced by high-rise buildings and public housing. Currently, Kampong Lorong Buangkok is one of the last traditional kampongs in Singapore, located in the Serangoon area, which retains the village style of the past and has become a symbol of history and culture.
But you know what? The village is a freehold and valued at S$70 million, but its owner, Miss Sun, has insisted on not selling.
Ms. Sun said the land was bought in 1956 by her father, Sun Chaoguan, who was a Chinese medicine practitioner at the time.
"This village has been around for 69 years," Ms. Sun proudly says in fluent Malay. Although many developers tried to buy the land with her, she never broke her promise to her late father and resolutely refused to sell it!
Ms. Sun kept the promise she had made to her father
Continue to protect the "urban village" in your lifetime
"He wants me to keep the land for his children and grandchildren," Ms. Sun said.
She has made up her mind to continue to protect this small "urban village" for the rest of her life, hoping that the next generation will continue this tradition.
"They knew what my grandfather had promised, and they said they wanted to keep the land as it was," Ms. Sun said.
It is reported that since this land is a freehold property, as long as Miss Sun insists on not selling, no institution can force it to acquire it.
In this regard, many netizens admired Miss Sun's personality and spirit of keeping her promises.
