Lonely Planet review

The Malay version of the UK National Trust, Badan Warisan Malaysia is itself housed in a restored colonial mansion. Trustees are campaigning to save similar historic buildings around Malaysia. One of the trust's big success stories was the Rumah Penghulu, moved to the trust headquarters from Kedah. The Trust also holds exhibitions in the mansion, which has a good shop selling antiques, crafts and books on Malay architecture and history.

Guided tours of the Rumah Penghulu (Malay House) are offered twice daily (11am and 3pm) from Monday to Saturday (with the exception of public holidays); a minimum donation of RM 10 per person is requested. Group tours and tours at times other than the regular times can be arranged.
