Kampung Baru was established in the 1920s by both Federated Malay States and Selangor government during the redevelopment plan of Kuala Lumpur from a tin-mining village to a main town. Today, Kampung Baru has become a modern Malay village. Many wooden houses have changed into bricked houses.
Despite being steeped in history, Kampung Baru has faced government pressure since the 1970s to sell out and allow developers in. Even among the city's Malay community, it is seen as an eyesore, out of keeping with Kuala Lumpur's modern image.

Wooden houses on stilts jostle for space with shabby shop-houses and stalls. The village has also become a known area for street crime and minor-drug dealing. The government can simply repeal the law that gives Kampung Baru its special status, but knows this would be deeply unpopular with Malay voters. It has always chosen negotiation instead. The government is now drawing up a fresh proposal to develop Kampung Baru, for consideration by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi. No details have been released. Previous plans have included compulsory acquisition and relocation for the villagers.
