"Sarawak Cultural Village portrays "live" the state's rich cultural diversity in one single place. It is a 17 n half - acre sprawling expanse on the foothill of the legendary Mount Santubong fronting the South China Sea with 7 authentic ethnic houses built around a man-made lake."

"The house of an urban Malay family is a gracious structure well adapted to the climate. Like all local houses, it was built of wood. The Brooke era brought lofty ideas on columns, stucco, and indoor plumbing. Since 1860s a few leading Malyas families commissioned professional builders, often Chinese, to construct their stately homes; a few which may still be seen in Datus Road in Kuching."

The last one is on de Chinese..but din tk pix of it..haha
