The houses of the early Malaysians were closely related to the sea and the river. For the convenience of fishing, drinking and transportation, they built a house on the seaside and built a family. Fishing villages were built on the water. The so-called streets were some small bridges connected. In the capital Kuala Lumpur, there are towering skyscrapers and row upon row of modern buildings, but in rural or suburban areas, Malaysians prefer to live in traditional floating stilts. The so-called Malay dwellings here mainly refer to the traditional dwellings of the Malay nation, rather than the dwelling styles of the Chinese, Indians, or colonial Eurasians. The biggest feature of Malaysian houses is that the builders attach great importance to the ventilation and heat resistance of the houses. The windows are opened very large, and some use the roof and the wall to be slightly separated to keep the room cool and ventilated. In order to prevent moisture and tropical snakes and insects, the entire structure of the house is built on pillars off the ground. A rectangular balcony is built in front of the house, and a ladder that can be removed at any time is the access to the stairs.
