This house must one of the oldest in Tanjung Aru that remains unperturbed by the passage of time. The architecture is one of those typical in its time. I reckon the roof was atap kajang before the present zinc replaced it due to maintenance problems. Yes, the kitchen is separated from the main house by a kaki lima, a safety feature that could give the dwellers time to douse any fire from the kitchen from spreading to the main house. Dulu-dulu the folks use firewood to cook so the risks of fire hazard is high. Anyone knows whose house is this? I don't.Sunday, April 27, 2008
