HISTORY

Kampung Baru Nilai was established in1945 .This village is situated beside Jalan Terminal Nilai.

The site was once surrounded by swamps, mud, weeds and with tall trees. This village is

populated largely by the Chinese community. In 1945, the government took over the land from

the communists and developed it to place the Chinese community. In the early period, there were

only few houses in this village but with the passage of time, the village population has increased.

Hakka is the predominant language of the village. Majority of the villagers were rubber tappers.

In 2007, at the request of Majlis Perbandaran Seremban, the village was renamed „Kampung Seri

Nilai‟. Currently there are 176 houses with 1600 villagers staying in them.

HOUSING AND POPULATION

In the past, the village was sparsely populated with only a small number of houses. After the

government took over the village, the population in the village rose to nearly 1600 people and

the number of houses increased to 176.

This village is largely populated by “Hakka” Chinese (about 90%), with a few Indian and Malay

families. According to the head of the village, there are about 10 houses which are occupied by

Indians.

Kampung Baru Nilai has a variety of houses - wooden houses, concrete houses, wooden and

concrete houses. Some bungalows are also found here.

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY

The Kampung Baru Nilai residents are engaged in moderate level economic activities. Some

stalls in the village which have been operating for the past 50 years, sell food and drinks at

reasonable prices. Their customers are mainly local residents and people from neighbouring

villages

There is one famous coffee shop in this village which has also been operating for about 50 years

called “Kedai Kopi Sin Hup Foh”. The villagers sell handmade noodles and other food in this

shop.

Some villagers maintain small farms around their house. They have planted banana, sugar cane

and jack fruit trees. The farm products are usually sold in the nearby market.

Besides that, some the villagers also prepare food used during prayers and sell it during the

festival season. The type of food that they usually prepare includes moon cakes and biscuits for

the Chinese New Year.

EDUCATION

The educational institutions in Kampung Baru Nilai range from kindergarten to primary and

secondary schools. There are two kindergartens in Kampung Baru Nilai which are “Tadika

Kampung Baru Nilai” and “Tadika Bistari Jaya”. Most of the parents in this village send their

children to these kindergartens.

SJK (C) was established in 1919. At that time, the school had only one classroom with an

enrolment of 30 students. In 1952, public figures raised large sums of money to expand

classrooms and school facilities as the student population had increased to 440 pupils‟. In 2001,

the government built a new building for the school to cater for the increasing number of students.

Today, there are 697 students and 41 teachers in this school. 20% of the students are Malays and

30% are Indians. It is a single session school. There are 3-4 classes in every standard and there

are 21 classes in the school. According to the principal, the school always strives to improve the

students‟ performances.

An award received by the school for good

examination record in 2009

In the afternoon, the school conducts tuition classes from 4.15 pm. Besides that, the

students are streamed based on their performances in their exams. In 2009, this school was

recognized by Jabatan Pelajaran Negeri Sembilan for good examination results for the year. The

majority of the students continue their secondary studies in SMK Dato‟ Mohd Said. According to

Mr. Law the principal of the school, the school is planning to have a preschool but the school is

encountering problems of limited area.

There is one secondary school near Kampung Baru Nilai which is SMK Dato‟ Mohd

Said. This school was established in 1964 with 3 classes and 230 students .The school‟s students

were placed temporarily at SRJK (Inggeris) Labu Hilir. In 1966, three blocks of new buildings

were constructed to meet the increasing number of students enrolled in the school. In the early

stage, the school had only one session but in 1968 the school had to start the afternoon session to

meet the demand of student populace.

Social, Cultural and Religious Practice

Social

As we spoke to the Head of the Village, Dato‟ Ee Sheong and some of the residents there such as

Madam Goh, we realized that the people of Kg Baru Nilai were very friendly and down to earth.

The residents there were cooperative and helpful when we did our research about their village.

The residents in Kg. Baru Nilai are mostly Chinese. About 70% are Hakka and the others are

Hokkien, Cantonese and Tiew Chuan. A small percentage of Indian and Christian community

resides there.

The 176 houses in the village are largely populated by aged adults as most of youngsters have

migrated to places such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and even overseas to further their studies and

to work. According to Dato‟Ee Sheong, the village is a calm and quiet place as the residents

there carry on with their daily chores.

Cultural

Chinese New Year is the major festival celebrated by most of the residents there. In conjunction

with Chinese New Year, a Grand Dinner sponsored by the Barisan Nasional, is usually

organized by the village committee members. Other celebrations such as Deepavali and

Christmas are not celebrated on a grand scale in this village as there are very few residents who

are celebrating the festivals.

Religious Practice

There are only two Chinese temples in Kg. Baru Nilai. Most of the residents pray at their own

small temples outside their houses. Only during special occasions such as Wesak Day, they w go

to the Chinese temple to offer their prayers.

Close to Kg.Baru Nilai, there is an Indian temple called “Arulmigu Subramaniar Temple” and a

Catholic church known as “St.Theresa Church” to cater for the minority Indian and Christian

communities. There is also a mosque located about 1km from the village.

Business Opportunities

The residents in Kg. Baru Nilai are mostly hawkers, factory workers and businessmen. The

ladies in the village are mostly housewives. They plant vegetables and fruits in their own

gardens. Hence the rate employment in the village is low.

We managed to interview one of the entrepreneurs there who manages a car cushion repair

workshop “Pusat Membaiki Kusyen Kereta Hawamas” which has been in operation for almost

10 years. The owner, Mr. Law Kim Thin, says that it‟s very difficult to see youngsters who want

to learn new things and work hard here as most of them are looking for high income and would

not stay long to learn a trade. There are only two workers in his workshop. There is only one old

coffee shop in the village and one sundry shop near the village. Otherwise the villagers have

travel far to purchase things.

There is no hair salon in this village as the villagers crop their own hair. The hawkers here sell

food for auspicious occasions (usually for a limited period of time only), sell noodles and so on.

Besides that, the residents in the village also work in a factory located near the village.

Tourism

Nilai Square 2 which is close to Kg Baru Nilai, is undoubtedly a wholesale, tourist and shopping

paradise that offers a wide variety of items at very attractive and competitive prices. It is

undeniably a household name for textile and wholesale shopping.

There are many textile shops near the village which attract tourists to visit to the place. We

managed to interview Mr.Alex Khoo, a consultant adviser at Jelita Textile Sdn Bhd which

specializes in Japanese cotton. According to him, Jelita Textile is not only famous among locals

but also foreigners.

Besides that, there are various sprawling malls and modern stores displaying quality goods and

branded products. Nilai Square and Nilai 3 which are located near Kampung Baru Nilai are two

of the most important shopping hubs in Nilai. Tourists like shopping at the Giant Hypermarket

and Mydin. The former is the place where you can get to see fresh local produce including

seasonal fruits and vegetables. A whole range of seafood is made available in this market. Mydin

is the place which sells commodities such as electronic goods, watches, electrical products, bags,

shoes, stationeries, kitchen appliances, bath accessories, perfumes, car accessories, junk

jewelries, and other household goods.

Problems encountered by the villagers

The main problem in this village is the road system. The roads in this village are very narrow.

Only one vehicle can go along a road at any one time. Therefore, it can be hazardous to other

road users if heavy vehicles such as lorries, vans and school busses ply the narrow roads.

Furthermore, the villagers often became victims of dengue fever. It happens because the village

is not very clean. We found rubbish near the bushes, in the drain and along the road. Such

unhealthy conditions affect the villagers‟ health.

Besides that, the village also doesn‟t have a public phone booth. Although, most of the villagers

have phones in their houses or possess their personal mobile phones, the consequences of not

having a public phone may be drastic for the poor or the aged especially during emergencies.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS

Narrow road

Widen the road to make it easier for the public to travel in the village

Dengue fever

There is a lot of rubbish along the roads and in the drains. Aedes mosquitoes that cause

dengue fever breed in these places. Therefore, we would like to suggest oregular cleaning

of drains and roads to overcome such problems.

Public phones

A public phone should be installed in the village. Eventhough most of the villagers have

handphones or home telephones with them, it would be safer for the villagers to have a

public phone especially during emergencies.
