Immortalising sights and sounds of Kampung Baru

WHILE working as a photographer with The Star for six years, one of Kamal Sellehuddin’s favourite hangout spots was Kampung Baru, a traditional Malay kampung in the heart of the Klang Valley.

The sole traditional Malay village in urban Kuala Lumpur, Kampung Baru was originally founded in 1900, having been sectioned off by the British as Malay agricultural land.
