The heritage centre of the Badan
Warisan (Heritage of Malaysia Trust) is located in a
mock Tudor building dating from 1925. Visitors will see
standing in the landscaped garden, a
unique bamboo hut built by Orang Asli of the Temiar community
together with a restored Malay timber house known as the Rumah
Penghulu. This traditional building was formerly the residence of a very
famous local
headman in Kedah named Abu Seman and such traditional
structure is no longer built anymore in the
modern days.
Not only it is
beautifully decorated throughout with intricate
carvings but it has been furnished to
reflect a house in the early thirties with some wedding
accoutrements whereby the uniqueness of this structure
has become a popular tourist attraction. Walking
inside this place will allow you to feel its
charm and charisma. A guided tour and viewing of a video
documentary of the restoration is available for those
who wishes to learn more about this unique
tourist place.
The centre hosts regular exhibitions with a heritage
theme and has a gift shop and reference library and this
popular attraction is located at 2, Jalan Stonor, 50450 Kuala
Lumpur.
