Small and interesting local Museum, but.........
This is small well maintained museum located in the Bukit Melawati park and which details the history of the local Kuala Selangor District. Immediately in front of the museum is an old lighthouse and defensive structures complete with (Portuguese ??) cannons, the hill was part of extensive military defences guarding the Straits of Melaka. The surrounding park is glorious with great views out to the Melaka Straights. Whilst the exhibits are both interesting and well presented there are a couple of problems. Firstly, and possibly of minor importance, is that although English language information is well provided I felt that more care could have been made to ensure that they were readable, after all English is well spoken by many in Malaysia. Secondly and more importantly was the accuracy of the information, one of the panel's detailing the period of the Japanese WWII occupation stated that the Japanese were defeated in 1943. To get such a basic fact wrong unfortunately throws doubt on the accuracy of the other lesser known information presented. Entrance was free, although surprisingly the taking of photos was not allowed.
