由来
- 甘榜是马来语 kampung 的音译。
- 1822年，莱佛士委任市镇委员会监督市镇的规划，并且规定甘榜应该给各别族群和行业群居住。
- 这类住屋建筑，原本是早期新加坡人们居住的地方，但因为新加坡的城市规划，原本根据不同族群建设的甘榜大部分已消失。建于1956年的罗弄万国（Kampung Lorong Buangkok）目前是新加坡本岛仅存的甘榜。
ETYMOLOGY
- The term is the transliteration of the Malay word kampung, which means village.
- In 1822, Sir Stamford Raffles appointed a Town Committee to oversee the planning of the city and instructed that kampungs should be open to people of all races and occupations.
- Kampungs were where many Singaporeans lived in the early days. However, with urbanisation and resettlement, kampungs have all but disappeared. Kampung Lorong Buangkok, built in 1956, is the last remaining kampung on Singapore’s mainland.
例句
