Typical Malaysian homes

Many of us have lived in a kampong house. It is usually a small, one storey detached house made of wood with one or two bedrooms, usually with a rusty zinc roof. There will be a small garden, at the back with vegetables and a few fruit trees like papaya, mango or coconut. The land is usually adequate but not too large. Problems arise when the younger generations all come into a city like Kuala Lumpur looking for work It is normal to look for accommodations, not too far away, to reduce the daily commuting time, to and from work.
