Taman Malaysia — Attraction in Negeri Sembilan

MAJLIS “BANDARAYA” SHOULD HAVE A MODERN MENTALITY TO MAINTAIN THIS PLACE

Both my primary and secondary schools stood just a short walk from Taman Malaysia in Seremban, a place woven into the story of my family. My parents literally grew up near here, spending their childhoods beneath the same towering hardwoods that still stand today. I had the pleasure of camping here overnight during my school days, and while the adventure was unforgettable, I can’t deny that the park felt a little eerie once the night deepened. Even now, no matter how familiar the place is to me, the quiet rustling of leaves in the dark still carries a hint of unease.

Through the years, Taman Malaysia has remained a patch of tropical rainforest at the heart of Seremban, its old balau, keruing, and fruit trees quietly watching the city change around them. It has become known as a glamping and campervan hub, with affordable stays for weekend adventurers. Yet for all its natural beauty, I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that it’s not as safe as it should be. Jogging here on weekdays or after nine in the morning often means finding yourself alone, with no guards or staff nearby to create any real sense of security.

Worse still, the park itself has suffered under the so‑called upgrade of Majlis “Bandaraya.” During my last visit for the lights festival, I noticed how poorly maintained the grounds had become—some platforms felt dangerous, practically accidents waiting to happen, and the landscaping lacked the charm and thoughtfulness it once had when I was younger. I hate to say it, but the current local council is far from my favourite when it comes to looking after the public parks that hold so many of my memories.

Just beyond the trees, Taman Tasik Seremban still offers a more vibrant atmosphere: families on the lakeside paths, children laughing on the playgrounds, kayaks drifting across the water. It feels safer and more alive, especially in the cool hours of early morning or late afternoon.

For me, Taman Malaysia will always be more than a park. It is a place where my family’s history, my own school‑day adventures, and the changing face of the city all meet. Yet each visit now carries a bittersweet note—the memories remain, but the place itself no longer feels...
