The main characteristic of these area was only a medium Malay housing area. Kampung Dato' Keramat strategically MRL area located after Kampung Baru facing the same fate. These MRL was identify by various housing types from a traditional Malay houses to a modern types of houses such as bungalow, double-storeys and terraces. The housing structure was built from wood and stone. One of the obvious features in the housing aspects here was a transformation phenomena which have been carried out mainly at the 'RIDA' houses. These transformation phenomena had a positive and negative effects. The process not only contribute to a better living environment, but it is also intrude the drainage system.
