Throwback: Balik Kampong

3 Modern Families go back in time to live the primitive life, without proper running water, gas, electricity or telecommunication for 3 weeks! Besides having to survive a bare-bones village environment, our Families will compete in a series of challenges to earn their keep.

Cast & Crew

Remember the days of catching chickens, home-made kites, rubber band guns and slingshots? Or the vast fields that were your very own playgrounds. Climbing trees, or playing the Tarik Upih Pinang – that classic kampong game where your companion drags you along on a Palm leaf! Those days of simplicity where even rose-syrup was made from boiled and real rose petals! Throwback: Balik Kampong Season 2 is back! In this highly-rated reality challenge, 3 families leave the city and go back in time to live in a place with no modern conveniences. Prepare for a bigger, bolder and better season. Hosted by Rozz and Fuzz.
