Hi team,
I’ve got an urgent task for you. The The Travel Addict: Singapore travel guide book published in the 1950s needs an urgent revamp. I’ve tasked all the writers I can get to update the book. I’ll need your help to update us about Buffalo Road in Little India. Here is an excerpt about Buffalo Road from the old guide book.
One of the oldest
arterial roads in Little India area, the name Buffalo Road was found in old
maps as far back as 1836. The road was named after a village that once stood
there called Kam Kong Ka La Bu, which
is the Chinese name for Kampong Kerbau (“where buffalo are kept”) in Malay.
This place was the centre of cattle and sheep rearing trade, which continued
here till it was banned in 1936.

Snake charmers also
performed on this road. Originating from Poona in India, the snake charmer will
play his pipe to lure his snake out of its basket and onto a piece of canvas
stretched out on the ground. Transfixed by the swaying movement of the charmer,
the snake would then begin to dance.
