The Traditional Malay Houses in the District of Muallim, Perak: A Lost Legacy
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims to describe traditional Malay houses that still exist in Muallim district, Perak. The research methodologies used were field observation methods and structured interviews with the owners/residents of the houses. The findings showed that there were 29 traditional Malay houses. Among these, seven are more than 80 years old. Meanwhile, 12 houses were uninhabited, neglected, or abandoned. In terms of physical condition, 17 houses were not preserved. The findings show that the district of Muallim has a legacy of Perak traditional Malay houses. The poor physical condition of the houses, however, may result in the loss of valuable assets whereas those traditional Malay houses have the potential to be turned into a culture-based tourism attraction in Muallim district.
