ChatGPT : 

72-year-old Mdm Sng Mui Hong, owner of Singapore’s last kampung in Lorong Buangkok, has rejected S$70M offers from developers, staying true to a promise made to her father to preserve the land for future generations. Despite no children, modest savings, and aging infrastructure, she continues renting homes at S$6.50–S$30/month to about 20 families.

Her quiet defiance and simple lifestyle have earned viral admiration. To her, peace, legacy, and dignity matter more than millions. Her nieces and nephews are committed to keeping the kampung intact after she’s gone.

Opinion : 

Strong promise kept by Mdm Sng 👍

I'm not sure on the ask of nieces and nephews to continue the kampung.

Wouldn't it be prudent to let it go to benefit even more people? The extended family could use the money for the betterment of their lives too.

Ultimately, it's their family's choice and in the age of capitalism, it's nice to see family values being emphasized over monetary gains.
