Analysis on mantin


Ikon Idiongo Aniekan   in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan.  Malaysia

When I first stepped into Kampung Hakka a year ago, I was amazed to encounter a Chinese new village complete with temple, community hall and a school.

I was further shocked to learn that all the people living there have been declared as illegals just because some rich company has bought their land. Looking at the building structure of their homes and their lifestyle, I was convinced that these villagers had a history to talk about having lived here for a year.

Most of the villagers were elderly as their children have left for the urban town Centre’s. Their economic activity varies, with most of them being petty traders and self-employed.

I met up with a group of the residents in their community hall. I was warmly welcomed and they readily related their plight. I listened and posed two major questions to them regarding the history of the town.

The first question was if they think that they have a right to stay in their current homes and the second, if someone else claims to have the grant titles of their land, will they move out? They responded strongly saying that they have rights. They spoke about how their forefathers came many years ago and how the village was built. They stated that they will fight stay on here.

I was shown a photo of the village taken in the 1960s when there were only two buildings in Mantin town. The rest of the town must have come up after the village was set up.

 The map from fig 1-6 shows some places in mantin like schools,police station, banks, shops mosque, church and roads.
Mantin road shape is close to being in a straight line but have little curves on it. It also has sub roads which link to the main road. The town is a small one, which has lots of occupants in it and lots of history in it.

This is also a map of mantin but extented tinto Nilai and seremban but not in details.
