    Kampong Bharu or more commonly known as Kampung Baru is a village in the middle of the mega city Kuala Lumpur.
    Originally this village was built as a settlement for Malay people where they could practice agriculture.
    Nowadays this historical heritage village is the point of many discussions. The land the village is built on is estimated to be worth about 2 billion US Dollars. Both the government and developers are interested to buy this land to replace the traditional houses with skyscraper buildings to expand the rapidly growing Kuala Lumpur.
    Landowners aren't willing to sell out easily. Some don't want to sell out at all. In this video I speak to different people that live in Kampong Bharu or have businesses there to hear their side of the story.

      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. 😀

      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. 😀

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.

    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.

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.

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..

    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.

    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.

If you are interested in exploring more traditional architecture, I recommend you to visit the Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman, an over 100 years old Malay traditional house which relocated from Kedah to KL city and preserved into an attraction. You can enter and explore the interior of the house with guided tour available Tuesdays-Saturdays at 11am and 3pm with RM20 entrance fee for foreigners. The traditional house is located across the street from Royale Chulan KL Hotel. A short walk from there is the KL Craft Complex which equally worth to visit too.
