The postcard depicts a view of the Malay village on Rochor river in 1911. Kampong houses can be seen in the background. Residents of Kampong Kallang and Kampong Roko had to shift to Kampong Melayu in the early 1930s due to the reclamation of the Kallang Basin for the construction of Kallang Airport.
