The Haji Abdullah Hukum Village was an urban village located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was situated further south along Jalan Bangsar, between the Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line station named after the village (See: Abdullah Hukum LRT station and Abdullah Hukum Komuter station ) and the Klang River. Its area is surrounded by Bangsar, Mid Valley City and Kerinchi.

History of the village

Haji Abdullah Hukum Village was one of Kuala Lumpur's early Malay settlements, with a 200-year-old history.

The village was named after Haji Abdullah Hukum, whose given name was Muhammad Rukun Hukum. He came to Malaya from Sumatera, Indonesia at the age of 15 with his father back in the 19th century. To earn a living, he worked as a farmer and a laborer before he started opening lands and villages with the consent of Raja Laut, who was then the Raja Muda (crown prince) of Selangor.

Abdullah was later chosen by Raja Laut to head a mosque in Pudu. He was also given the authority to start a nursery in Bukit Nanas and to open a village in Sungai Putih (now Jalan Bangsar). After retiring, he continued to stay in the village in Sungai Putih which is now known as Haji Abdullah Hukum Village located just opposite the well known Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur.

Despite initially starting as a Malay settlement, the village boasts a multiracial population of ethnic Malays, Chinese and Indians. There is even a Hindu temple, Sri Sakthi Nageswary Temple, located within the village close by a highway overpass.
