Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Museum

A Day's Reflection:

History? That was what taunted me on the on the ride to the Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Museum. What more can a boy like me accomplish from a ride to a boring old museum? My first impression of it was a drab boring area—but I was dead wrong. Never, ever judge a book by its cover! Yes, a museum is a place of heritage but it was the setting of it that drew my attention to it.

As I stepped into the long, vibrant hallway, I was already amused by the artifacts painstakingly collected over the years to produce this trail of rich culture as well as history that formed up against me. As I travelled along the trail, a sense of grandeur engulfed me as I marveled at all of the priceless artifacts placed before me. They seemed to be placed at just the right location--at home. Walking out of the museum and with all the newly acquired information buzzing around my head, this trail through Malaysian history has given me a Malaysian insight into my history, after all, I am half Malaysian!
