We visited the Mah Meri Cultural Village on 7 July, 2016, and discovered that it was closed. In fact, opening is by appointment only. All we got was a peek inside from the locked gates. The place looked empty and forlorn. I am not sure whether it is being well maintained, judging from the rather neglected appearance.

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.
