Kampung Hakka

We had our presentation on Monday. There are two director come to our presentation. We were very nervous. The topic that we presented for our presentation is Kampung Hakka. We had gone to Kampung Hakka a few weeks ago. After we visited Kampung Hakka, we had made a documentary film. The issue that rose in the documentary film is about after surviving the rise and fall of the tin mining industry in Kampung Mantin, the villagers just became the victim of development after living at there for about hundreds years. 

We were taking some pictures from Kampung Hakka. 

When we first stepped into Kampung Hakka, we saw the words like this ----- The developer are trying to destroy the house of Kampung Hakka.

Kampung Hakka

When I first stepped into Kampung Hakka, I was amazed that a Chinese village complete with the temple, community hall and school existed in the village. When I looked at the building structure of their homes and their lifestyles, I was convinced that these villagers have a history to talk about. Most of the villagers are elderly as their children have left to more urban town centres.  

The school

The temple

When I went there, I strongly feel that they have right to stay there. It is because I heard a lot of villagers talk about their fore father came many years ago, how their build their houses, and said they will fight to be stay at here. Some even question me, where do you want us to go? I feel sad when I heard about this.
