Traditional Malay houses, or rumah kampung, are an important Asian symbol of the spirit of togetherness — of living together and looking out for one another. This solo piece by Hassanah pays tribute to this “kampung spirit” that Singaporeans are keen to keep alive, where everyone is included and has a place in our society, regardless of race, religion, or abilities.
