My grandparents stayed there before they move to Toa Payoh!

We used to hear horror story of inmates at Woodbridge Hospital using changkor to chop off another inmate'a head.

the current IMH or the old one?

i am very enthralled by this i always thought Buang Kok was offshore at Ubin.

Now, anyone knows how to get there? Hows the respond by the villagers? They like strangers?

When I was there, 1 or 2 years back, chatted with one of the villagers. He was very keen on sharing his experiences and stories. With a tinge of sadness even then.
