About Kampung Kaka

Kampung Kaka is the name of a short stretch of road between Carnarvon Street and Kampung Kolam. The name comes from a Malabari settlement that developed there in the 19th century. The name "Kaka" is a polite form of address to the Malabari Muslims, similar to Mamak. Collectively they are known as the Keling who worship at the Kapitan Keling Mosque nearby.

Kampung Kaka existed as a village right up to the beginning of the 20th century, when rebuilding of the shophouses along the road erased the village feel of the place.
