A crowning achievement of the Heritage of Malaysia Trust, Rumah Penghulu, or Malay House, is a traditional stilt house from Kampung Sungai Kechil, a small town in Kedah in the very north of the country.
It was the house of a local headman and is suitably impressive in design. There are three main areas; the living area, the bedroom and the kitchen and dining area. The house is solid wood and was built through the 1920s and 30s.
It was bought by the trust and painstakingly moved to Kuala Lumpur where it was restored to its former glory and is a celebrated part of preserving the nation’s heritage.

Started off a little rocky as we were picked up by the wrong company and then dumped on the side of the road to find our destination. Thankfully our driver found us very quickly and we got started on our tour promtly. He was so kind and helpful, even giving us information inbetween each park. The butterfly and bird parks we amazing. I highly recommend visiting both and take a good camera. The orchid park was nice but at the time of year we went (january) not much was out in bloom. Amazing guide, thank you :-)
