What's your personal opinion on this topic? The goal of this video was to give a voice to the local people of Kampong Bharu so they could share their POV.
It's a very good topic and an exposure to the foreign tourists. The price of land in Kampung Baru has increased significantly over the decades, making it one of the most expensive in the city. It's an area reserved for the Malay and ownership of land is solely for the Malay gazetted by law. If I'm not mistaken, it was British who initiated it for the Malay. Malaysian Government has yet to find a solution for the owners to create a new feasible studies for a new development for Kampung Baru. If not sooner, later in the future, this last village in KL will be developed according to the aspirations of the Malay in a city. By then, a museum of Kampung Baru is a must for the area. The opportunities for creating Malay food business must also be preserved in the village. How the Malaysian Government goimg to balance from the past and present into the future, I can only imagine the best for the Malay community in KL. 😀
Many Indonesian pages like Asean Rising make fun of this old village, they spread lie that kampung baru is slum lol..this is far different than slums in jakarta
The story seems to be the plot of a movie, but it actually happened to that lady. I believe her life experience can be written into a book, which is very touching! Her furniture is really beautiful and valuable. It should be difficult to find those antique furniture now! I'm so happy that you found this legendary figure who is full of wisdom, liveliness, optimism, and a life-long story! You did a super great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍🥰🙏
Thank you for hearing the voices of Kampung Bharu. Malaysia is not only a tourist or food destination. Showing the history and culture behind it makes your channel unique.
Thank you very much for the donation, I really appreciate it! I try to get some unique views of places I visit but it's not always easy to deepdive into the history and local culture. Thanks for being a #truelegendt
Kebersihan kampong bahru harus di-jaga dan di-kekalkan. Jangan biarkan warga2 asing yang menetap atau bekerja di-situ bawa budaya pengotor mereka dan mencemar "image" bersih kuala lumpur. The cleanliness of KB should be looked after and well-maintained. Don't let the foreigners who live or work there bring their "dirty" culture and spoil KL's "clean" image.
Wonderful comment. Kampung Baru is such a special place for the Malay community in KL. Eventually, one fine day it'll be properly developed to suit the aspirations of the Malay in the city. 😀
About the more than 7 millions immigrants, legal especially the illegal, the Malaysian Government has done lots of efforts to send them back home where they belong and only retain the productive ones. Not only in KL,but all over Malaysia, you could see them as if they are a part of Malaysia. The foreign tourists simply cannot tell the difference between the locals and the illegal immigrants. Regretfully, some locals give them jobs without proper working permit. The Malaysian Government has to do a better job, not only at present time, but in the near future. So far from videos, I've not seen many immigrants in Kampung Baru, except in Wanjo, where few workers proudly claimed that there are from Indonesia, the middle eastern guys that sell baklava and kunefe by the street. But the most illegal immigrants are at the Chow Kit wet market, either at the market itself or at the stalls near the market, many of them seemed to talk like a Malaysian, probably some of them are already married to the locals. If they bring their good culture into Malaysia, I guess it's alright, as long as they abide to.the local laws. When the Indonesian president came for an official visit to Malaysia few months ago, he even visited Chow Kit wet market, an all news photos showed the huge crowd of Indonesian that welcome him and wanted an up close and personal with their president. The Singapore authority seemed to handle foreign workers much, much better than Malaysia, it shouldn't be that way, Malaysia has enough work force to combat these unnecessary problems. 😀
@@Yasin_Affandi Yes, Hopefully the relevant authorities will transform KB into a lovely village by repairing the dilapidated old houses and giving them a fresh coat of paint. They should model it on the beautiful Kampong Morten in Melaka.
@@azizahabdullah1143 Yes, Kampung Morten in Melaka is a fine example of a well preserved village in a city. The Malaysian government should do the same for Kampung Baru. It's obvious that some of the locals cannot maintain their house, old and weary wooden houses need constant care. Not only those houses need a new paint, the wooden structure and roof need lots of repair work. I can only imagine how beautiful the houses in Kampung Baru will look should they are properly maintained and preserved. Good to hear from you again Azizah. Will wait for my kind of songs again from your channel. 😀
@@Yasin_Affandi Yes, the relevant authorities should pull up their socks. Some or perhaps most of these immigrants, especially pendatang haram, spoil malaysia's image as a clean & prosperous country. Tourists mistakenly believe they are locals because they can't tell the difference between malaysian malays/indians and them. Some are beggars. They transform certain areas in KL into an eyesore.
Eventhough im not from Kpg Bharu, im from Borneo, i still want Kpg Bharu remain as it is...i hope the Kpg Bharu residence will not give in to the capitalist & the developers with any kind of agreement, please dont, Malaysia already have loads of sky scrappers, big malls here and there, but Kpg bharu is THE ONE and the only kind.....please defend the land....
My journalist Australian husband loves Kampung Baru. He says its a treasure trove of culture, history, food and stories....Kampung Baru should be preserved, upgraded and be part of the tourism trail in KL. There should be more videos like this on Kampung Baru. Thanks, Tim for highlighting the community here, their aspirations, worries and stories
kg baru are definitely one of the most famous tourist hotspot in KL.. there's no reason to denied the authenticity of Kg.Baru.. Malaysian Gov should preserve the lone survivor of malay cultural vilage ever exist in KL metropolitan area.. Absolutely Herritage..!!
Wah makcik ni punya ex-bf dulu from Denmark and she used to work with companies abroad. Great to see she has a very colourful life! Another great video Tim. Very educational and off -the-beaten-track! This is what all you viewers want to see! Well done. LEGENDDDD….
It is extremely important to preserve these traditional houses ❤. Just like in any other countries, they preserve traditional old houses that have become huge tourist attractions for tourists from all over the world. Kekalkan rumah tradisional Melayu di Kuala Lumpur... terima kasih kerana masih mempertahankan rumah lama Melayu❤
Bagus kalau dapat kekalkan kampung Baru sebagai Kampung Tradisi orang Melayu di tengah bandar Kuala Lumpur. Boleh jadi tempat tarikan pelancong untuk mengenali budaya orang Melayu. Tak perlu pergi jauh.
Setuju kampung baru dikekalkan sebagai warisan melayu kuala lumpur. Kampung morten di melaka adalah contoh terbaik bahawa kampung warisan melayu di tengah bandaraya boleh dijadikan muzium hidup untuk dilawati pelancong.
Greedy developers has been eyeing Kampung Baru for along time. It is a prime land. The last Malay settlement in the middle of the city. Grew up there up to my schooling age then moved to Kampung Relawan/Semarak (gone already). My late grandmother work at the club as cook. There was rented houses at the side of the Pintu Gerbang now a parking. My late step grandfather family home is still there behind the hospital.
Those developers are indeed very greedy but refuse to pay the real price. All the while they cowardly sneaking behind gov for cheaper land acquisition.
@@azlirazli7500 The real price? It's all a bunch of barren house. That tiny piece of land is not valued at 12 million ringgit. 12 million ringgit for that land is way too overprice. All these property owners buy these houses for the cost of peanuts, 12 million is more than anybody could dream of. Plus, KL population kept growing and growing. Pretty soon we are going to run out of land. When that happens you will see property prices will appreciate like there is no tomorrow. I understand the sentiment behind preserving Kampung Bharu and I would love it if can continue to be preserved. However to say developers are greedy is quite foolish. We are all greedy at the end of the day. Why should people bother?
@@secrets.295 look at all development around, for the past 15 years, the prices of land properties were speculated overpriced from the reality. Tell me what is the real price of the property? There are none! All prices are speculated! So you wanna tell here, only developers and other corporate entity can speculate the price? Can't the kampung folks speculated and dictate their own price as well? Take it or leave it.
Tim... Thank you for this precious video and information about Kampung Baru. We love this kampung in the middle of the city. I've shared this video on my fb.. ❤🇲🇾
Kampung Baru brings a lot of memories during my younger years. Used to stay at a student hostel (near MRT station) when I was a UTM student. Also spent years renting accomodations at many places inside Kampung Baru during my working years. Its been decades now and the village is still there with little changes. Love the place.👍👍👍
thank you for visiting Malaysia. lets explore more and more. its really different for each part. From west, north, east, even Borneo have its own cultures & characteristics
The fact that saloma bridge that recently built in 2020 really boost the tourism in kampung baru and tourists and travellers can experience a uniqueness of country side in the middle of the 6th tallest city in the world
Fascinating reportage! I would very much recommend they keep this National Malaysian Treasure as it is, and not put Skyscrapers instead. 'Develop' it's Heritage instead - it so that will be known throughout the world even more than it is today. 🇲🇾
Kampong Bahru means new village. Kampong Bahru is cultural heritage of the Malaysia in the capital city that we all wanna see it forever in the future. Only need to preserve it. It is the most valuable tourism attractions here in KL other than It is actually a foods village. They need to beautify it's in every inch of it. We love to wander oround this heritage village by foot. At night must be interesting also to be there. It's a great tourism product. It's like street food streets in bangkok/Thai. We don't wanna go there anymore if the streetfoods scenes swiped out. Kampung Bahru is KL Malaysian street foods capital of Malaysia. Its CULTURE in the city, that we can 'sell' it all over the world.
Village Vs Megacity. I have never been to Kuala Lumpur but i saw many videos of it on youtube and i love that because in Kuala lumpur we can see the megacity mixed the village in the same place. that is fascinating . i love this topic that you are talking about now on this video because this case is happening in my country too. in Indonesia. like in Jakarta right now ,the goverment offering a lot money to the locals at many areas to leave the land that they have occupied for so long to rebuild the skyscrapers and throughway ,unfortunately many of them didnt accept that money also they don't want to go. they would rather love to choose to stay in theirs own land until now. also in Bali. Bali is missing its naturalness because of the large amount of development. Bali now is not as beautiful as before.
Thank you Tim,for this insightful walkabout in Kampong Baru and the sharing of the heartfelt feelings of the residents there.Being a Malaysian I have only visited the place thrice and after having watched your vlog you have definitely ignited my interest to visit this place once again which will be soon.Cheers and warmest blessings to you.💕🇲🇾
Gud to see ya bck in K.L Tim sure superb content brings us bck to history,lots of old stories,top it all yur so privileged to hve Malay style traditional lunch wth K.B natives,great volg kippidap mate
The government should preserved kampung bharu just like Malacca government preserve kampung Morten at malacca..but government more side to developer to take the land..so sad.
Tim this vlog is the best about Kampung Baru I hope Kampung Baru will same as now four ever ini Malay harap Kampung Baru kekal seadanya macam ini suasana Kampung Mashallah sangat INDAH
Can keep the food but not the house too old.After she gone sure her son or daughter will let her house go.Actually that not her house sharing with 6 siblings.If house only her name she will put sign house for sale 😂😂😂😂😂
I leave in Kampung Baru during my childhood. My house was at Jalan Watson. I was 4 years old when the tragedy of 13 Mei happen. The riot started at Jalan Raja Muda infront of Balai Dato Harun. I dont remember much but I remember my mother telling me that she was searching in panic for me and she went to the area where the riot took place to look for me and she witnessed the brutality and horror scene of headless bodies laying on the ground. Kampung Baru and Chowkit was heavily affected by the 13 Mei tragedy in 1969.
Hi Tim.. if u come to Melaka u can see the same situation at Kampung Morten & Kg. Hulu, located in the heart of city with a majority of Malay still live there. But, the State of Melaka Goverment had made the solution maintaining these two villages to be conservated with a pedestrian and other facilities such as coordinating the color and structure of the roof for the attraction of foreign tourists until now..
@@timtense great idea!👍 when u pass by at Kg. Morten near riverside, u can go to the private muzium in the village and refer to the owner or the community leader to get more info about a history of Malay residence in the heart of Malacca City👍
As a man whos constantly looking at KL/Selangor real estate, the first auntie was lowballing the price of a two bedroom apartment in the middle of KL, its easily at least 400k - 500k, sometimes theres studios unit being sold at that price, i think she just lost a bit frame of reference since she no longer have to worry about paying for mortgage or rent , they probably deserve more than 12mil
@@hooisiewhuan9998 KLCC prices can go way over rm 1.8k psqft. Where I am it is actually more than rm 2k psqft. But be aware, Kampung Baruh is not in KLCC, it is divided from KLCC by the Klang river.
@@EGO0808 I m aware. I had a relative in Taiwan who checked with us. It was promoted in Taiwan on properties near KLCC around RM1800 per sq ft before the pandemic. We were comparing properties in Taipei n KL at that time.
Maybe you can explore Sungai Lembing, Kuantan, Pahang. The 'El-Darado' of Malaysia. One of the largest tin mine towns in Malaysia. There's an old chinese and malay settlements aged 100++ years.
wow Tim..your content is superb.Tho I am.Malaysian, I lost track of kpg life since my grandmum passed away 20 yrs back.How nice of Datin brought Tim to *c* all these.BTW Tim, come to Sarawak.There is a culture life village of each races/enthic in Sarawak.Sarawak herself has more than 30 enthics compare to west Malaysia.
Sepatutnya Kampung Baharu KL dah boleh contohi Kampung Morten di Melaka. Kerajaan Malaysia kena belajar dengan Melaka macam mana nak baik pulih, pelihara dan naik taraf rumah² di Kampung Baharu KL ni. Kampung Morten juga diiktiraf satu2 nya Kampung Melayu Tradisional yg masih kekal, yang bersih, cantik, terpelihara, tersusun yang ada didalam bandar² di dalam Malaysia ni.
Sebenarnya bisa dijadikan ikonik budaya melayu, india sama China saja punya ciri khas seperti little india dan China town, seharusnya orang melayu juga bisa, kalau perlu direnovasi menggunakan arsitektur melayu asli ❤
Most kampongs unfortunately been sold off to developers, my fishing village is half housing estate now. We had several European families living here before but they went back home once development began. They knew what's coming.
We had similar well in the bathroom in my grandma house. I dont like it, the water is too cold …. But other family member like it. Its already filled and buried now.
Although Kampung Bharu is known for famous malay food in KL, but for me it is still underrated and not enough promotion to the tourists. The residents and the Board of Trustees should do more to introduce Kampung Bharu as a new tourist spot. They should learn from other successful communities like Chew Clan Jetty in Georgetown, Concubine Lane in Ipoh or Kampung Morten in Malacca on how to improvise their residential areas into tourism and generate income.
Pada saya biarlah kampung baru kekal dengan identiti dia, bukan sebagai tempat pelancongan. Biar yg tahu saja tahu kg baru sebagai Syurga makanan utk org tempatan. Biarlah pelancong asing pergi makan di jalan alor tu.
Interesting vlog, well done. There’s always discussion about Kampung Baru and of course also different opinions. Nostalgia and heritage in SE Asia is often being overruled by business economics and sooner or later Kampung Baru will be nothing but history. The only argument in favor if keeping this last kanpung as it is, is the fact that real estate still sees relatively low returns in Malaysia, compared to other SE Asian countries and (mega) cities. The property market here in KL has the lowest returns in the whole region. Even Dhaka has higher prices, than KL. Let alone Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and of course Singapore. So as long as there is no real increase in prices, Kampung Baru may continue to exist.
Kampung Baru has always been in the special place in the heart of old Malaysians. As told by my late grandfather every visits to Kuala Lumpur, the main destination is always Kampung Baru. He was a teacher and also active in social activities and political, Kampung Baru is not only for eating but also the meeting point in KL. For the new generation who grew up in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, especially when the LRT rail system was already in place when they were born, Kampung Baru is just a food paradise.
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Please to meet you on TH-cam. Have a wonderful time in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and when you will be traveling to Indonesia 🇮🇩 Peace ✌️
.... i want to TELL you, Kampung Baru is NOT a slump. They are the real i mean REAL true traditional Malay's village unlike other South East Asian countries you know who. 🇲🇾 Love.
Actually there're more abandoned units & worst condition buildings in KL such as changkat at Bukit Bintang area, etc. Which need to rebuild & there're tourist spots too.
I need to correct her, apartment in KL it depends on the status if its leasehold or freehold, leasehold prices there cheapest is around 500k, for freehold its millions but freehold status you can barely find it in KL, 12 millions is actually peanuts for that kind of lot size and yes she is right if you have 1 million you can only survive for less than 7 years and that is a modest living not living rich
tabik la makcik english boleh tahan tapi apa nak heran kan sekolah d malaysia ni dari dulu english subject, kalu veteran lgi la english dorang boleh tahan weii
To me, the KL administrator should manage Kampung Baru and upgrade the surrounding just like how the Melaka State Government had done for Kampung Morten in Melaka.
8:25 That doesn't seem right. In the middle of KL cheapest is probably around RM500,000 for less than 1000sqft. Condos around kg baru probably start from RM1 million and above.

I hope you can visit again soon!

Can keep the food but not the house too old.After she gone sure her son or daughter will let her house go.Actually that not her house sharing with 6 siblings.If house only her name she will put sign house for sale 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope they can preserve it as much as possible
I leave in Kampung Baru during my childhood. My house was at Jalan Watson. I was 4 years old when the tragedy of 13 Mei happen. The riot started at Jalan Raja Muda infront of Balai Dato Harun. I dont remember much but I remember my mother telling me that she was searching in panic for me and she went to the area where the riot took place to look for me and she witnessed the brutality and horror scene of headless bodies laying on the ground.
Kampung Baru and Chowkit was heavily affected by the 13 Mei tragedy in 1969.
Thank you for sharing this valuable historic experience. Hope you can share more
Hi Tim, this is really an awesome effort especially when you took the trouble to rope Jane in. Thank you so much for your video.
Very good one Tim.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hi Tim.. if u come to Melaka u can see the same situation at Kampung Morten & Kg. Hulu, located in the heart of city with a majority of Malay still live there. But, the State of Melaka Goverment had made the solution maintaining these two villages to be conservated with a pedestrian and other facilities such as coordinating the color and structure of the roof for the attraction of foreign tourists until now..
Mana ada lagi Kg Hulu.. dah pupus dah.. tinggal beberapa ketul je rumah2 lama, masjid & signage jalan kg Hulu..huhu..
That sounds good actually. I hope to go to Melaka at some point in the future!
@@timtense great idea!👍 when u pass by at Kg. Morten near riverside, u can go to the private muzium in the village and refer to the owner or the community leader to get more info about a history of Malay residence in the heart of Malacca City👍
As a man whos constantly looking at KL/Selangor real estate, the first auntie was lowballing the price of a two bedroom apartment in the middle of KL, its easily at least 400k - 500k, sometimes theres studios unit being sold at that price, i think she just lost a bit frame of reference since she no longer have to worry about paying for mortgage or rent , they probably deserve more than 12mil
Real estate in KL, it depends like she said earlier, it's measured by per sq ft, KLCC area may fetch RM1800 per sq ft. 😊
but 200k+ in mid KL? hmmm@@hooisiewhuan9998
Yeah, my daughter bought a studio condo in kl sentral for rm350k
@@hooisiewhuan9998 KLCC prices can go way over rm 1.8k psqft. Where I am it is actually more than rm 2k psqft. But be aware, Kampung Baruh is not in KLCC, it is divided from KLCC by the Klang river.
@@EGO0808 I m aware. I had a relative in Taiwan who checked with us. It was promoted in Taiwan on properties near KLCC around RM1800 per sq ft before the pandemic. We were comparing properties in Taipei n KL at that time.
Kampong Mortern ..it a loverly kampong and nice place
even 12 mil.....is not as priceless as Kg Baru....which money cant buy
It's a unique place that hopefully will be preserved as much as possible
I hope they preserve Kampung Baru
I suggest let preserve that Kampungs for ever. Dont sell to develope as high rise.
Safe Kampung Baru for the next generation.
KAMPUNG BARU❤❤❤❤
Yes, I hope so too!
Tim, now you are the Legend. Superb content.
Maybe you can explore Sungai Lembing, Kuantan, Pahang. The 'El-Darado' of Malaysia. One of the largest tin mine towns in Malaysia. There's an old chinese and malay settlements aged 100++ years.
Outstanding documentary
wow Tim..your content is superb.Tho I am.Malaysian, I lost track of kpg life since my grandmum passed away 20 yrs back.How nice of Datin brought Tim to *c* all these.BTW Tim, come to Sarawak.There is a culture life village of each races/enthic in Sarawak.Sarawak herself has more than 30 enthics compare to west Malaysia.
Sepatutnya Kampung Baharu KL dah boleh contohi Kampung Morten di Melaka. Kerajaan Malaysia kena belajar dengan Melaka macam mana nak baik pulih, pelihara dan naik taraf rumah² di Kampung Baharu KL ni.
Kampung Morten juga diiktiraf satu2 nya Kampung Melayu Tradisional yg masih kekal, yang bersih, cantik, terpelihara, tersusun yang ada didalam bandar² di dalam Malaysia ni.
Try exploring Janda Baik where Jetlags Warrior Steve and Ivana had their wedding reception recently.
Maybe next time I'll try that!
Wow
.. Great insight
Thanks!
Sebenarnya bisa dijadikan ikonik budaya melayu, india sama China saja punya ciri khas seperti little india dan China town, seharusnya orang melayu juga bisa, kalau perlu direnovasi menggunakan arsitektur melayu asli ❤
Most kampongs unfortunately been sold off to developers, my fishing village is half housing estate now. We had several European families living here before but they went back home once development began. They knew what's coming.
very good one Tim👍✊😊
Thank you very much 😊
We had similar well in the bathroom in my grandma house. I dont like it, the water is too cold …. But other family member like it. Its already filled and buried now.
Although Kampung Bharu is known for famous malay food in KL, but for me it is still underrated and not enough promotion to the tourists. The residents and the Board of Trustees should do more to introduce Kampung Bharu as a new tourist spot. They should learn from other successful communities like Chew Clan Jetty in Georgetown, Concubine Lane in Ipoh or Kampung Morten in Malacca on how to improvise their residential areas into tourism and generate income.
There's some great food there indeed!
Pada saya biarlah kampung baru kekal dengan identiti dia, bukan sebagai tempat pelancongan. Biar yg tahu saja tahu kg baru sebagai Syurga makanan utk org tempatan. Biarlah pelancong asing pergi makan di jalan alor tu.
Well, in Penang it is Chinese Malaysian owned. The Chinese as we know, often are way more business minded than the average Malays. No offense.
Ok je kg baru. Promote byk2 kang naik harga makanan
That's Jane Rai, my old buddy in tourism industry. Haven't seen her for more than a decade
That's her indeed, she showed me around Kampung Baru.
@@timtense if mentioned my name Meor of Taman Negara, she will recognise me
Awwww, u missed out the catfish with fermented durians..... it's awesome
I'll have to try it next time I go!
Interesting vlog, well done. There’s always discussion about Kampung Baru and of course also different opinions. Nostalgia and heritage in SE Asia is often being overruled by business economics and sooner or later Kampung Baru will be nothing but history. The only argument in favor if keeping this last kanpung as it is, is the fact that real estate still sees relatively low returns in Malaysia, compared to other SE Asian countries and (mega) cities. The property market here in KL has the lowest returns in the whole region. Even Dhaka has higher prices, than KL. Let alone Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and of course Singapore. So as long as there is no real increase in prices, Kampung Baru may continue to exist.
Dhaka? You kidding me right? Lol. Do you not see the amount of Bangladeshi in Malaysia?
Kampung Baru has always been in the special place in the heart of old Malaysians. As told by my late grandfather every visits to Kuala Lumpur, the main destination is always Kampung Baru. He was a teacher and also active in social activities and political, Kampung Baru is not only for eating but also the meeting point in KL.
For the new generation who grew up in a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, especially when the LRT rail system was already in place when they were born, Kampung Baru is just a food paradise.
Dasat mak cik, her english is so fluent
Hopefully this video would attract tourist to explore this exclusive and special part of Kuala Lumpur not only about eating nasi lemak at Wanjo
I agree with her, developers should pay cash. Ingat macam kita ni lembu ditambat tali ke boleh digula gula kan
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Please to meet you on TH-cam. Have a wonderful time in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and when you will be traveling to Indonesia 🇮🇩 Peace ✌️
Great vlog Tim 👍
Thanks for watching!
Tim, the best place to retire is in Malaysia. Please include msia when you plan your retirement.
I'm not there yet but when I get old enough I'll think about it 😅
.... i want to TELL you, Kampung Baru is NOT a slump. They are the real i mean REAL true traditional Malay's village unlike other South East Asian countries you know who. 🇲🇾 Love.
Government should subsidize the repair and beautification of all the houses in Kg Baru. Currently Kg Baru is an eyesore.
A village in a big city. Why not? Even Seoul have one too
Actually there're more abandoned units & worst condition buildings in KL such as changkat at Bukit Bintang area, etc. Which need to rebuild & there're tourist spots too.
Oh really? I haven't been to Seoul yet
I need to correct her, apartment in KL it depends on the status if its leasehold or freehold, leasehold prices there cheapest is around 500k, for freehold its millions but freehold status you can barely find it in KL, 12 millions is actually peanuts for that kind of lot size and yes she is right if you have 1 million you can only survive for less than 7 years and that is a modest living not living rich
I used to live next to Kampung Baru and occasionally pass by the place
Thumbs up bro..good content
Wow awesome good jobs 🎉 you are good reporter..😊😊😊❤ keep its up 😂
Thank you very much 😊
Nice video
Thank you for the video- am now interested in the failed agricultural project before 1901!
Good luck with the research
Cholop 👍❤️😻❤️🇲🇾❤️luv kampong vibe❤️luv ur sweating 😅❤️
Love my sweating? I sweat a lot indeed. I'm still not used to the Asian climate 😅
They are still trying to buy Kampong Baru till this day. I'm glad they didn't sell them.
tabik la makcik english boleh tahan tapi apa nak heran kan sekolah d malaysia ni dari dulu english subject, kalu veteran lgi la english dorang boleh tahan weii
To me, the KL administrator should manage Kampung Baru and upgrade the surrounding just like how the Melaka State Government had done for Kampung Morten in Melaka.
U should be the emissary of Kampong Baru. There is a special connection between u and it's ppl.
Sebagai warga kl, sila kekalkan tradisionalisme dan elakkan kapitalisme. Stay strong org kg baru
Very interesting video. I like it.
wehhh salam bro fariz kawan sya d study kampus d Kk la masa kat ILP, jumpa pula dia kat cni channel
Come to Malacca there also have malay kampong in a middle of town
Good content
Thanks!
Kampung Baru should remain as it is. Make it a tourist attraction.
I am Ahkam from Srilanka. We met at Port City
You're so sentimental man.. I love that!
Tim, waiting since days for your videos 😢. Hope you are fine and wish you well 👍
Preserve kampung Baru our history
They may look poor but rich
Yes, very much indeed!
Actually around kl a decent condo costs around 400k per house. My apartment in ampang selangor costs 300k.
That's not cheap!
It seems that this area is getting harder to develop because the owner is determined to let it go at such a high price.
8:25 That doesn't seem right. In the middle of KL cheapest is probably around RM500,000 for less than 1000sqft. Condos around kg baru probably start from RM1 million and above.
