Kampung Tersusun Kampung Pulai - Neighborhood Layout

Neighborhood Layout

There are two very significant part of this village, the uphill compound, the lowland compound and the new south compound . These terms were given by the residents themselves to ease the recognition of houses in which the whole village is geographically designed with different altitude. Therefore it is easier for the residents to recognize the houses through the terms such as Kampung Ateh or Kampung Atas, Kampung Bawah and Ateh Ompang . The east side of Kampung Bawah were once known as Telago Jaoh but the term usage subsided among the new generations but it is popular among the senior citizens.

The Kampung Ateh was designed with a very easy layout, two very long street on each side and several alleys to segregate the clusters, apparently, it is the grid iron layout with the first row of houses facing the large Jalan Gopeng while the other row is facing the east, towards the Titiwangsa mountain range and a very large old tin mine lake. Kampung Ateh was known to be the houses made of bricks instead of woods. These houses were largely designed partly bricks or a whole brick house. Most of the residents affiliate the Kampung Ateh people with "rumah batu" or houses made of bricks.

There is a large multipurpose hall located at the very center of Kampung Tersusun Kampung Pulai. A lot of activities were held there such as weddings, talks, and even served as the voting center for the previous general election. Most of the times, the hall was used for residents to play badminton in weekends and almost every nights on weekdays.

Famous quotes containing the word neighborhood:

    The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
