A Malay Kampong in Katanning, Western Australia

Who can resist a traditional wedding feast? Not us.
Journey inland beyond the popular coastline of Western Australia and you might find Katanning - a small town three-hours' drive from Perth and home to a significant Malay population. The 400-people strong community still continues Malay traditions, including some unique to Christmas and Cocos island where most came from.
If you’re lucky, you might even chance upon a truly sedap feast prepared by makciks in the town!

The irony is that, Malays -or any ethnics, generally speaking- are more UNITED when they are away from home. I was once a student in Strasbourg, France. Since non-French Asian communities were very small, we took advantage of any holidays to organise masak-masak together. These gatherings back then were not just limited to the Malaysian Malays, but also Indonesians, Singaporeans, Bruneians etc. Jadi, memang benar, gotong royong itu menjadi amalan masyarakat Melayu yang menetap di luar negara kerana majlis keramaianlah peluang untuk mereka merapatkan hubungan dan berbual di dalam bahasa ibunda. -23 FEB 2020

The sad thing , Lee , is that that priceless practise called " gotong royong " is all but gone back home . Got an advice for you . Should you come back for a visit , head for the countryside , not the snobbish city ( you know which one ) , especially on weekends , where weddings take place . I can bet my life you will be invited on the spot . Check in a homestay where you ll be informed of the kampong's activities .

[@bbelluv]

Zainul Zainul Thanks for the information but the thing is I can only go back on the holidays because I’m still studying so I rarely have time to go and visit the countryside because I also need to visit my family back in Malaysia. Maybe if I have finished my studies I could visit the countryside and witness traditional weddings!

Can't believe they're actually in Australia!

[@skittleswildberry9219]

for first i thought it was in Malaysia

[@ronaldmcdonald4313]

It’s because they refuse to assimilate to Australian culture.

[@skittleswildberry9219]

@@ronaldmcdonald4313 nope

[@skittleswildberry9219]

@@ronaldmcdonald4313 they just wanna preserve their original culture for those Malay that living there especially the youth . Like some kind of initiative to make future generation of them still remember .

[@sarah.3599]

@@ronaldmcdonald4313 wdym refuse to assimilate? They have been there for generations? They're still interactive with local Australian people. They've assimilated. They're just following their cultural traditions, that's all.

@Lina Morgana I'm sorry ma'am but only God can stop me.

[@HBC101TVStudios]

@Lina Morgana You're making Aussies shame. Are you exposing to outsiders that Aussies in general are racists?

[@sarah.3599]

@Lina Morgana Judging from your comment history, maybe YOU should try assimilate into Australian culture? You're still speaking Malay and your English is beyond terrible. You obviously hate your own race lmao. Even Malays in Malaysia can speak and act properly.

[@akramafiyyaz]

@Lina Morgana you also intruder..

[@hx1167]

stop intrude on another land Better stay in yours since malay-sia offered ketuanan malayu Also Australia is ruled by right wing party which practice contraction policy (no longer welcoming immigrants) Clearly observe that Paulin Hanson declared unfriendly policy against -Asian immigrants - Muslim immigrants - Chinese immigrants

This is so crazy. Well it's not like I didn't expected malays in other country. But this is just WOW. Who wonder there's a malay village in Australia. I mean real village. Not that kind of village with people only. There's still tradition, cloth, the way of talking. Its feel so 'kampung' you know! I won't be surprised if one day i got lost and ended up there, im saying that im still in malaysia! Glad to be malaysian 🇲🇾!
