The two red patches indicate the areas demolished in 1965-1990s – the area between them is the present Kampung Gelam Conservation District, all that remains today.
Kawasan2 yang diwarnakan telah dirobohkan antara 1965 hingga 1990an. Kawasan di tengah adalah sisa yang kini dikenali sebagai “Kampong Glam Conservation District”.
