There is a house in Punggol

… which will not be upgraded.

I came across this photo via Photoblogs.org.

It is absolutely stunning.

When it came up in my feedreader, I was blown away.

I hadn’t realised it was a local photo until I looked at the title of the post.

It’s strangely appropriate that I stumbled upon this photo a couple of days before the Singapore General Elections.

A lone house standing up to numbing, dumbing progress.

If you are eligible to vote and read this before heading out to the polling centre, ask yourself:

Why am I voting for the candidate and the party that I have chosen?

Find a reason. Search online for one.

Not an excuse. A reason.

And on Sunday morning, your conscience - and hopefully, the sky - will be clear.

    Hiya Kenneth,

    Yup I know that house. I always drive by it on my way back to the seminary. It’s really wierd, it is in the open field right next to the Punggol MRT station. One deserted house just standing there. Not sure what the story about it. Some say haunted, some say the owners don’t want to sell.

    Yah, I’ve seen that house too. Went past it on my way to a colleague’s place for Hari Raya makan.

    Owners don’t want to sell. Heh. Reminds me of *batteries not included.

    My daughter told me many times abt the house was haunted.At first I cant believe it was true,as it was spot at the new town.Til the closer look at it thru the ride made the place looked suspicious of sth really weird.

    From the past the workers tried to remove the house but was killed in the incident.So it is tragic that the soulowner wanted to remain.The hse looks haunted and it is left alone in a new place like this.

    This house has conservation status. I’m not sure a ‘haunted’ house can be so powerful as to warrant heritage importance in Singapore. Anyway, if it really is haunted, it should resist efforts for the house’s future development too.

    Not sure where you got the information from, but I’m a skeptic where these things are concerned. Bishan is supposedly haunted too. But I’ve yet to come across any wandering spirits.
