ISSUE OF MUSEUM IN MALAYSIA
Historical centres in Malaysia have neglected to draw in youngsters because of the way that the designs of displays are still in the old or conventional. Individuals are not educated in history and are increasingly keen on the advancement of innovation science. The historical centre displays the old fortune and notoriety, the less appealing and less praiseworthy shows of movement operators or traveller guides. Furthermore, there is less upkeep and fix and non-inexhaustible presentation ideas, non-expanded show materials and inadequate ancient rarities. (Maznah Mohd Arsad, Kosme! Online, 23 Mac 2007)
