Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

For the longest time, it baffled me why there's a Bukit Tinggi in Klang when there's not a hill in sight. I think it might be named after the Highlands Estate.

Love me some nameplace trivia and old survey maps.

PS. It's criminal they didn't carry over Lowlands Estate's name to Bandar Tanah Rendah 😂

You probably know this one, Bandar Sunway is named after Sungai Way.

That is so cool. How did you get a hold of this old map? It looks so good.
