The Malay Village 110806

The lane gets dustier ...


... and narrower, but it seems to pass by some nice homes. Must be a mess when it rains. No turning back now.


After a couple of junctions, the lane suddenly opens up into a village with some really dilapidated houses, open sewer and strewn rubbish. This is one impoverished neighbourhood. I've arrived at the Malay village of Kampung Stengmai, after walking for 35 min in the dust and the hot sun.
