Opening the doors to kampung life


‘At the end of the day, Rumah Lat is not for me – it is for the future, ’ says Lat.

When Lat drew his 1960s childhood house in his beloved graphic novel The Kampung Boy, little did readers imagine that they could one day visit it.

Not the actual house in Batu Gajah, Perak, of course – that’s long gone. But a reconstructed version located some 30 minutes from the village Lat grew up in is in the works and is tentatively scheduled to be opened to the public at the end of the year.
