Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman with traits of old Malay.
|
Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman also
known as Rumah Penghulu is another popular attraction in the heart of Kuala
Lumpur. Anyway it’s not as popular to locals as any other attractions that get
more coverage from the media. However, Rumah Penghulu is an important
attraction for us in order to know more about traditional Malay architecture.
It is an old Malay house erected
in stages between 1910 and 1930. It is originally the house of a village leader of
Mukim Bagan Samak, Bandar Baharu, Kedah. It was originally located in Kampung
Sungai Kechil but was recovered and transferred (1996-1997) by Badan Warisan
Malaysia.
It is important to visit the site
as an example of architecture of old Malay house. Though its new location in
the Kuala Lumpur City is surrounded by high-rise buildings, Rumah Penghulu area
itself planted with plants and herbs that contain more than 50 kinds of herbs
and trees that add to the uniqueness of this location as a location for
education.
