jaguh kampung

by the rivers of Lumut

Near Sitiawan town ( 8km away ) there lies a small kampong ( village ) called Kg Sitiawan where the first Chinese pioneers ( of Manjung District ) landed a century ago.

Today this same place with Chinese vegetable farmers , Malay fishing folks and some Indian families looks quite the same as it was ( we were told ) except there are many cars which converge aka clockwork precision at a certain spot in the mornings.

you mean to enjoy this watery view ? the great shining pool ( the scene of many Scouts first class swimming tests from nearby schools ) or is there something else ?

the eager cars parked along the roadsides. Something's up babe .

...to see this stilted shaky wooden hut ? sure it can hold or not ?

But first , a small bite from the newspaper packed bundle for the appetiser.

Actually you could celebrate the coming 50th Merdeka Celebrations here.

Just need some flags.

The champions. Throwing and doughing. Oh now we understand.
