Back home again

Some houses in the almost 70-year-old Kampung Baru Tawas have been rebuilt into double-storey bungalows – a contrast to the wooden village houses of old.

THERE is a story from every lane in Kampung Baru Tawas from tales of hardship and struggle to success stories of villagers who went abroad.

They are dubbed “aeroplane jumpers” meaning those who went to work without permit abroad, mostly in Europe, Japan and Taiwan.
