I am quite familiar with such kampong houses , this lot is typically chinese and not Malay ...Malays would be on stills and plenty of wooden structure whereas Chinese Kampong houses such as these would be made out of a lot of asbestos and only doors in solid wood , even the rooms partision within the house would be asbestos

there was such a kampong in Siglap along the sheshore before Marine Parade was reclaimed .basically Teochew fisher folks lived there along with their fishing nets , ducks , chicken and etc ...there was also a Barisan Socialis kindergarten ...I had a team of buddies whom I spent time with there ...wonder what happened to them now

Prior to the zinc roof with those false ceilings, I recalled the old house with attap roof. I remembered small rats like to climb in between the attap leaves and sleep there at night and sometimes giving birth up there in the attap rooftop.

My uncle will do pest control using a long bamboo pole, give the attap roof a jab or two to get rid of the rodents, the babies usually fall and dies quickly but the adults get a bit dazed, they do recover fairly quickly to scramble away, but run out of luck and get beaten to death with the numerous brooms on standby.

My cousins and I would then start examining the spoils of this war, and the throw the dead baby rodents into the nearby pond to feed the fishes in it.

By your description it looks like they are mice rather than rats , Mouse are playful and curious lot ..Rats on other hand are very cautious typo ...one way to identify is that the mouse are almost half the size of rats and have bigger ears , rats have longer tail ...these days there are hardly any mouse left as rats do kill mice

you could be right, they have brown coats and rather small in size.

Brown coat most likely mice ...I have stayed in Atap houses in 3rd world countries , where there are no hotels or even Losman , the problem would be scorpions dropping from these roofs and cobra in the kitchen ...these creature seek refuge in atap houses

Childhood in this type of house, slightly bigger than the above and there a garage on the left.
This type of house can be seen in punggol and Jalan kayu. Some families has water well too. “Big Business” were settle in outhouse behind the house. Good luck if stomach ache at night.
