Heritage house stands proud


An imposing figure: The Demang Abdul Ghani Gallery is a magnificent sight in Kampung Merlimau, Pantai Melaka. — Bernama

MELAKA: The Demang Abdul Ghani Gallery – the stunning wooden house depicting traditional Melaka architecture with a dash of Chinese influence – was declared a national heritage by the federal government about two months ago.

The descendants of the edifice built by a well-respected village headman in Merlimau, Jasin, are hoping that the state government will continue to manage the home, located about 23km from the city centre, for conservation.
