This a shot of a Malay house- a traditional one.
Sorry that the sky is very dry and blank.
My point is only to show , one of the Malay houses.
The roof is instead of the one you see, is made of attap - palm leaves wound together in a few layers.
I too used to live in a house like this also, but a bit higher.
But my experience was not very long. The stilts are higher and the roof too is a bit high. But I never experience extreme hotness or warm. The surrounding is very pleasant with trees and the wind was very cooling and comfortable.
But nowadays, I would say not many people are prepare to stay in this house. With the present hot weather and very warm condition, not many big trees are left. Most of them being chopped and fell for development.
Hope this shot of a Malays house tells something about the Malay society.
Now everyone enjoys the concrete house with portland tile roof, airconditioned rooms and modern living.
The decors are of anything the like...Baliness style, Zen style, British country, minimalist etc, name it .
another point is that, the root we came actually describe the people.
