Singaporean and Malaysian colloquial slang for a roadside drain or monsoon drain — those concrete open channels running along streets that handle heavy tropical rainfall. 'Longkang' is from Malay and is completely standard in everyday Singlish and Malaysian English speech. These drains are a fixture of Southeast Asian urban life and the word appears constantly in casual conversation: falling into a longkang is a social media rite of passage, and 'longkang fish' (fish that live in drains) is a thing kids talk about with gross fascination.
