Old Alor Setar House

Right off the main drag of Alor Star are pockets of old, wooden houses - symbols of a long ago rural era. Or not so long ago, judging by how many house are still around, some abandoned, most still in use, albeit heavily augmented. A rolling urban renewal.

A typical wooden home.


Courtyard, paying homage to the Sultan's wife. A living room.

Man of the house.


Bookcase. Food? An endless supply of eggs out back.

On the wall, a primer on how to pray properly.
