What travelers say:
It is another museum hidden in the bustling city. In fact, although it is not a real museum, it is a real restoration of the trajectory of the life of the chief, including the tea set inside, which is very serious, as if it is still inhabited.

It is another museum hidden in the bustling city. In fact, although it is not a real museum, it is a real restoration of the trajectory of the life of the chief, including the tea set inside, which is very serious, as if it is still inhabited.
The place is not easy to find, perhaps not well-known, the house has a long history, the house is very beautiful, there are very detailed guide explanation, you can see the history and tradition of the inheritance, which is very hot, mosquitoes are also many, pay attention to mosquito prevention and water supplement.
On the way to the Malaysian Technological Center, I happened to find the former residence of Chief Abu Thurman. I learned a lot about the Malay houses and the people and customs living there. The restored Malay house was originally located in Jeddah, and the tickets were ten Ma Yuan, which can be explained by a tour guide.
Received world recognition through two awards in 2000, through the unesco Asia-Pacific award and in 2003 the Aseanta award, a merit award for conservation.
The construction of this house was completed with the ingenuity of Malay vernacular architecture and design around 1910-1930 at that time.
This house is an ideal symbol of the greatness of old Malay architecture. It was built as a result of a combination of the fine art of carving and traditional craft.
Although it is not really a museum it is probably the only chance that most visitors will have to go inside a traditional Malay wooden house of such quality.
It stands as one of the finest remaining examples of Malay vernacular architecture and is one of the few such buildings surviving.
