Gitanic 6th Gear February 27, 2016 Share February 27, 2016 in today's context kampong spirit can exist if minimum conflict among neighbors. so what you can think of? 1. personal lift landings to your home so you don't see your neighbors when you come back. 2. thicker walls,ceiling and floor so that your home sound proof. when you see them downstairs and don't know where they come from,there is kampong spirit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of the mentality of the residence. It starts with the residence, if you want to foster a kumpung spirit, it starts with you. Start to greet every neighbor. Let you children play downstairs and mixed with other kids. Hang around more often downstairs or community area like playground, play ball at the basketball court. These type of things also want gahment to lead? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang around more often downstairs or community area like playground, play ball at the basketball court. These type of things also want gahment to lead? Agree. In my estate, most kids playing at the playground are those 'ill-behaved' locals or foreigners. Most locals kids are either staying at home playing computer games or go for enrichment classes. Things like parents/grandparents playing badminton/ball with their kids/grandchildren seem to be FT-thing. My kids are the minority....but they enjoy their time at playground. :) 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
