Salam ku hulur kepada Penghulu

Apa kabar sekarang ini
Sunyi sepi masa berlalu
Baru sekarang dapat temui
 
Assalamualaikum warga Kampungnet

Lama menghilang baru temui

Jebat menyapa di lelaman Internet

Long before Modern Singapore began, a vibrant Malay community was already in existence here. And, like all communities, they too have their own legends and myths.

• Invasion of the Swordfish
• The Fall of Singapore

Long before the days of four-figure household incomes, before HDB flats, when a 50-cent plastic toy was a prized luxury, kampung children were more imaginative and resourceful in the ways they amused themselves.
 
They improvised and created toys out of available scraps of wood and other materials. And they played games which their own forefathers played before them.

Because most Malays are Muslim, they observe strictly the Halal (permissible) dietary code.
