Ethnic Chetty residents want more effort to preserve village


Living heritage: A file picture showing a Chetti community celebrating Deepavali at Kampung Chetti Melaka.

MELAKA: Kampung Chetty in Gajah Berang may not be as well developed as the Portuguese Settlement and Kampung Morten but the voice and hopes of the 250 villagers are just as important to be heard by candidates contesting in the Kota Laksamana state constituency in the Melaka state election.

The Chetty of Melaka are Straits-born Indians who came from Panai Koromandel in India and they are the descendants of Indian traders who set foot here in the 15th century.
