Kampung Baru (GPS: 3.16305, 101.70618) is an urban village in Kuala Lumpur. This village serves as a cultural anchor for the Malay community.

Traditionally, the area that is Kampung Baru borders on Jalan Ampang. But with recent urban redevelopment in the area between Jalan Ampang and the Klang River, the urban village of Kampung Baru is today defined as being located north of the Klang River, while the areas south of the Klang River is defined as part of the new neighbourhood of KLCC. Except for the Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery, the rest of Kampung Baru is on the northern side of the Klang River.

The area that is presently regarded as Kampung Baru is located to the north of Jalan Sultan Ismail. It is bordered by Jalan Raja Abdullah to the west, Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz to the north and Jalan Tun Razak to the northeast. Kampung Baru was created in 1900 when the Colonial British administrators gazetted the area for Malay settlement. This has enabled the Malay community to dwell within the city and practise their village lifestyle, even as the rest of Kuala Lumpur faced development, redevelopment and urbanisation.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
