Kampung Baru is a small settlement of Malays towards the north-west of KL city centre. There are many old-style wooden houses on stilts, but what strikes one is the contrast with the ultramodern city on its doorstep. A third “Old and New” post would have been boring but that just sums this whole city up.
The minaret of the local mosque (Malays are Muslim) and KL’s telecom tower.
Thanks to the Lonely Planet pocket guide to KL for directing me to this money shot.
This house was built by a teacher in the nearby school many years ago.
