On 30 November 2025, we shared a meaningful morning at the Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman as Badan Warisan Malaysia officially launched the Heritage Kampung Garden in the City. Officiated by the YBrs Puan Hanum Ain Binti Zainal, Director, Project Implementation & Building Maintenance Department, DBKL. The event highlighted the transformation of this hidden heritage gem into a vibrant urban oasis in the heart of KLCC.

Badan Warisan Malaysia extends our warmest appreciation to SLB as a Legacy Sponsor. Their commitment to the environment supported the development of our production garden around our Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman, strengthening the revitalized larger heritage garden’s biodiversity and long-term sustainability. A special thank you also to Inchscape, our landscape architect and Legacy Sponsor, whose creativity shaped every path, planting layer and viewpoint in the Heritage Kampung Garden in the City. Inch Lim’s thoughtful design has transformed the grounds of Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman into a calm and peaceful, inviting space that feels both traditional and contemporary. Finally, we appreciate the support of Yayasan Hasanah, our Eco Sponsor, whose support enabled us to kickstart our journey to develop the Heritage Kampung Garden in the City.

The newly revitalised garden that surrounds the Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman at No. 2 Jalan Stonor is now officially open! Complete with colourful plantings, a tiered pond and bridge, and a production garden of traditional medicinal plants, this garden not only enriches the site’s heritage value, but also supports BWM’s cultural and educational outreach. Free to visit during BWM’s operating hours, the garden invites everyone to explore, learn, and enjoy this one-of-a-kind green space in central KL.

Visitors may also plan their visit to coincide with our guided tour of Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman, available daily at 11.00am and 3.00pm. Guided tours are complimentary for Badan Warisan Malaysia members, as well as members of National Trusts within the International National Trusts Organisation (INTO) network.
