    Long time back call Balam Rd. Now change to Balam garden. This is the place that I and my family stay. Is a very nice and comfortable place that I really love it. We have been staying for more than 40years since I am a young man now old man very memory. Until now I still love the place because of my late mother miss her so much that why my father don't leave the place and stay with us. Convenient because have hawker and wet market. Balam garden is the best of the best.
