Kampung Mortem is named after J.F. Morten, a British Commissioner of Land in the 1920s. He played a role in setting up this village, which was originally just a swamp .
Kampung Morten is located at the centre of the Historic City of Melaka ( Kampung Morten, 2012 ). The Melaka River surrounds this small village and those who cruises the Melaka river on the “Melaka River Cruise” will not miss this village. Kampung Morten is regarded as a living museum as most of its residents are still practising the traditional Malay lifestyle. The village also exhibits 200 Melaka traditional houses with their unique roof, staircase, interior decoration and landscape (Kampung Morten, 2012). It feels like going back to the era of the Melaka Sultanate (Farihan Han, 2012).
