Central market hosts at variety of arts and crafts stalls and small shops. This is the perfect place to in one quick stop buy all the souvenirs to bring home as well as gifts for friends and family. Many of the items on sale are locally made such as authentic Malaysian batik prints.

The Centre for Malaysian Culture, Heritage, Art & Craft moved to the building in the 1980s after the wet market that had been in here since 1888 relocated.
