I brought up in a rather conservative family, we don't or never tell my parents (even the other way round) how much we LOVE them, or huge them as we feel like it anytime. How I wish one day I have a chance to tell me mom just like my cat "Mama, I need a hug..."

Open Question: Fellow patriots. Why do some of you think that all Muslims are anti-American? That is just B.S and ignorant..?

Segara Ninda, often referred to as the Ku Din Ku Meh Mansion, is a charming Straits Eclectic-style double storey house that dates back to the late-19th century. It once belonged to the late Ku Din Ku Meh or Tengku Baharudin bin Tengku Meh, who purchased the property from Segara Ninda in 1901.
Ku Din Ku Meh was born in Anak Bukit, Kedah around 1848. He started his career at 14 as Head of Kedah Prisons. Ku Din was a literary man, fluent in Malay and Thai. He was known to have transcribed a book of laws in 1894. His diary and some jawi records pertaining to his administration in Setul (Satun) are now kept in the Thai National Archives in Bangkok. In 1897, Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah of Kedah appointed him the High Commissioner of Setul. At the time, Setul, Kayang and Phuket were provinces of Kedah under the domination of Siam. Setul later became a part of southern Thailand under the Treaty of Bangkok in 1909.
Ku Din was highly regarded as an administrator for the various advances which he introduced to Setul in the areas of administration, agriculture, trade and commerce, and education. In 1902, Ku Din assumed the title 'Raja of Setul' and used the name Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh. During his time, the local ports of Setul traded actively with Rangoon and Penang.
Ku Din himself owned several shipping vessels exporting goods such as birds' nests, timber and coconuts from south Thailand to Penang. Ku Din married a woman from Penang, and had his trading office in this town house on Penang Road. The Siamese government retained Ku Din Ku Meh in his position until he retired in 1916. He passed away in 1932 and was entombed in Setul.
'Segara Ninda' has now been taken over by Tengku Yahaya, the fourth generation descendent of Ku Din Ku Meh, and restored to its original state.
