Kuala Lumpur Outside the Tourist Zone: Adventures in Kampung Baru

[@Malaysianpeace13]

i like how you dont give up asking about the kampung baru and the river. extrovert people is really something else

[@chiewata]

Kampung Baru is a village in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city centre, many foreigners will find it strange but these village are actually reserved lands for the native Malay people so that they can owned and pass down these land to their next generations as a mean to guaranteed their way of life will be preserved intact, its a policy that originated from the British, similar reserved land policy you can find in many former British colonies, one great example is the native villages of New Territory in northern part of Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong

[@ricedrown]

@@chiewata I visited this restaurant one time at night and it was good. I wanted to visit many more times. Unfortunately I came with my relatives who were a little bit picky because they preferred to eat at restaurants in the mall.

Kampung Baru...that vintage old village is somehow existed almost 100 years I believe... each of the residents (owner only not tenants/renter) have the grant or certificate of ownership on the land in which they built their property onto...they own the land legally according to the law.. it's not a slum like others in the neighbouring countries...KL is different it got standard...the Kampung Baru's land is the most precious land in KL right now...every developers have their eye on that village and watching closely.. some small pocket of the land have been bought and redeveloped into modern residential unit, and estimately the village might be gone under 10 years if the developers continue to offer a mind blowing price for that land😢 it's lucky that you being able to visit that place before its vanished...

There's a Sean Connery movie back in 1999 called Entrapment that was a controversial in Malaysia because the movie was filmed in Kampong Baru which made it look like there were many slums in KL and Malaysians were outrage by how it was being depicted.

After my husband’s sudden death 2020 I was lost. Being 70 years old now I can’t believe the change in me. With the great idea of buying Santa and watching you for information about how to operate the complex operations of a tech nightmare at the time. I have to thank you for pulling me out of my funk. I live in Illinois but because of you and ActionKid and J&k Murray I am thinking of moving to Miami. Thank you so very much words are not enough 🙋‍♀️😀👍Cheers 🍺🥃

Hi. The authentic nasi lemak is actually very simple. Its wrapped about the size of your fist with banana leaf to give that special aroma. View in the video at 18:00. And its served with half slice of boiled egg, some peanuts, some anchovies and slices of cucumber. What you see at Wanjo is actually the modern day of Nasi Lemak.

[@norzainimohd-zain1325]

The gist is the same - coconut milk rice, anchovies+sambal, peanuts, boiled egg & cucumber. Wanjo provides lots of side dishes. 😁

Fyi, malay has been here for over a thousand years (no borders at that time there is no Malaysia, Indonesia,Singapore).

[@jamilmasa]

Kampung Baru is statuted as traditional malay settlement during british rule as areas around kl flourished with tin mines...as such its hard for govt to take the land for development unless the landowners give consent....and of course the landowners are mostly millionaires in terms of their plot worth in kampung baru...

[@julietvaz8180]

Finally u took the grab, download the apps, good job.

[@shirleytan8042]

Kampung Baru was called New Village back in the 60s. Back then it was considered more modern than the rest of the area, hence the name. Of course the KL city slowly grew around it, but the residents refused to move away. It is sitting on very prime land in the heart of KL. There are a few really old typical Malay houses (probably built on stilts) but only the locals would know where to locate it. Would be good to get a guide to bring you around unless you have plenty of time to kill. I grew up in the Chinese area just next to this new village. The shop houses along Jalan Dang Wangi were built around 1900. There are also interesting places to visit in Klang.

[@bkerdas]

13:28 You seem surprised and said "Really? This is the new village. Wow, I want to see the old village.." Indeed, in that moment you're in KL's new village which is 125 years old. It is one of so many Kampung Baru throughout Malaysia. The thing is, whenever a new village is being established Kampung Baru is the most probable name for it if there is none nearby already with the name. So, in any town big or small or in any district (equivalent to county in the US) you have good chance to find at least one Kampung Baru.

[@aizuraabdul9400]

It's NOT chow kit! That lady was a foreign worker because only they can't speak English in Malaysia. The 2nd guy got it right, it's Kampung Bharu. Original owners of the land doesn't want to sell to the government to develop. That land is worth BILLIONS. So the owners make a living setting up Malay restaurants/eateries. All the fnb workers in Kampung Bharu are Indonesians. Only wanjo crew are trained to handle tourists. It looks like a slum but is worth billions.

[@klloo5689]

I worked for Standard Chartered Bank and in the early 2000s the Bank's Sports Club booked the tennis courts at the General Hospital and after our tennis game we would go over to Kampung Baru to drink at a shop which sold fruit juice in very large jugs. Those tennis courts at the General Hospital are no more because a new block was built on that location for the Hospital.

[@rizlanghazali985]

Kampung Baru was established in 1899 by a grant from the then-Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Alaeddin Suleiman Shah, to allow the Malays to retain their village lifestyle within the city.[1] It was formally gazetted as the Malay Agricultural Settlement in 1950.[2] Since then Kampung Baru has held out against development and modern-city living, turning into a political symbol of Malay culture.
