Malays have feng shui - who knew?

I found this interesting article about building practices in Malaysia. I lived in a kampung house for 4 months. I guess they fit in with their environment but too much so in my opinion as even a tent provides more security from mosquitoes and critters than a kampung house. I can understand the airflow needs as these houses aren't air conditioned but I would highly recommend screening the windows. It really would be the best of both worlds.
