Humanity Within A Settlement

The Sungai Buloh Leprosarium, founded by the British colonial government in 1930 was once home to over 2,000 residents. Despite the recent developments that have taken place in Sungai Buloh - the valley still holds a significant historical value throughout generations. This raises the question, how has it evolved over the years? Elizabeth Cardosa joins us to shed light on the history of the establishment and the reality for residents in the past.
