Kampung Menyorok - Batang Kali, Selangor



Blink and you’ll miss Kampung Menyorok in Bandar Pekan Lama, Batang Kali.

Kampung Menyorok (Hiding Village) is off the beaten path and slightly hidden.

“During the Japanese Occupation,we had to follow the railways tracks and walk underneath a tunnel to get to the village. Now with new roads and signboards, the village is not difficult to find.”

According to people there, there have been a few times when the signboards went missing.

Perhaps the authorities should have the name of the kampung fixed on a boulder. Then the thieves wouldn’t be able to steal the sign and hiding the sign….hehe
