Rasah New Village was founded in 1949 at a site a short distance away from its current location. It was moved in 1951 after the area was hit by severe floods.
NEGRI Sembilan MCA will build a monument in Rasah Chinese New Village – touted to be the first such settlement in the country – to remind the younger generation of the rich heritage and history of its early community.
State legal bureau head Ng Kian Nam said the new village, which was the biggest in Negri Sembilan, was said to be the country’s first such settlement by Chin See Yin from MCA who won the Seremban Timur parliamentary seat in the 1959 general election.
