Malay Architecture



These are the replica of a typical Malay house and ponduk (i.e. hut). They can be found in a Malay Kampung (Malay village). The architecture reflects simplicity, friendliness and elegance of the Malays who usually hold 'open house' party to invite friends of all races and faiths to their houses during Hari Raya celebration. The open house concept somehow is adopted by all other Malaysian during their Chinese New Year, Christmas, Deepavali, Harvest Day and so on.
