Village with its very own ‘House of 72 Tenants‘


Kampung Baru Perting‘s library where the elderly spend their free time.

A DOUBLE-storey wooden house stands out at the entrance of Kampung Baru Perting in Bentong, Pahang and it is no ordinary building.

Village chief Hoo Weng Cheong said the house has earned the moniker “The House of 72 Tenants” – after the movie which revolves around the lives of 72 tenants in Hong Kong who must face a nasty landlady.
