Looking to the past for town’s tourism


A traditional wooden Malay house in Kampung Baru Sungai Pelek has just been unveiled after years of being hidden by overgrowth. It was formerly the residence of the Sungai Pelek penghulu. There are plans to revive the building as a tourist centre

IN VIEW of the many interesting stories from its past, Sepang Municipal Council (MPSepang) president Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim is looking to use history as a way to attract tourists for Visit Sepang Year 2020.

He said since some shophouses along Jalan Besar can be dated back to the early 1900s, efforts should be made to conserve these buildings.
