I am under the impression that in Malaysia, houses are built with the pillars and beams taking up the entire weight.

Unlike in Europe or US, our houses do not have load-bearing walls. So we can remove a wall as long as don't kacau the pillar or beam.

Please tell me this is still true as I just hacked away a 10 feet wall to extend my new house kitchen.

Also looking to build a double wall in front of my master bedroom to reduce heat from sun. AAC sounds like just the right material. Is it very expensive?
