Kampung Baru does its part to preserve Malay heritage amid modernisation

Cultural features: The traditional houses in Kampung Baru bear a significant Malay architecture identity.

KAMPUNG Baru made headlines recently after the launch of Kampong Bharu Detailed Development Masterplan (PITPKB) in January, which introduced an RM43bil facelift for the area in the next 20 years.

The redevelopment plans, by the Kampung Baru Development Corporation (PKB), focused on three aspects namely preserving its cultural element, green development with beautiful parks and landscaping and sustainable development.
