Villa Sentosa, Kampung Morten, Malacca

Villa Sentosa, Kampung Morten (9 August, 2017)


Villa Sentosa (GPS: 2.20251, 102.25144) is a traditional Malay house in Kampung Morten, Malacca. It was built around 1920 by Othman Haji Muhammad Nor, one of the two men who initiated the building fund for establishing the village. It is today turned into a family museum by Othman's descendents. Abdul Rahim Hashim, a descendent, now manages the villa. The house is on Persiaran Dato' Othman, which is also named after Othman Haji Mohammad Nor.

Villa Sentosa exhibits items that showcase the Malay traditional way of life in Malacca, offering visitors a glimpse of how life has been in the past eighty years since the village was extablished. One gets to see Malay wedding dais as well ad the deco of a Malay bridal chamber. The house is also stocked with antique furniture and other museum-quality artefacts.

At time of writing (Oct 2009), a monorail line is being constructed in front of Villa Sentosa. While it may bring more tourists to Kampung Morten, there is also a fear that the monorail will impact the safety of the villagers.

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.
