Muzium Negara
Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square)
The Dataran Merdeka was officially opened on January 1, 1990 in conjunction of Visit Malaysia Year 1990.
The most significant landmarks built by the British is the "Sultan Abdul Samad Building" which grandly overlooks the Data
ran Merdeka. The building was completed in 1897 and housed several important departments during the British administration.
A 95-meter flagpole is one of the tallest in the world, marks that spot with a flat, round black marble plaque. It is located at the southern end of the square.
The quasi-Tudor style timber structure was built in 1890 and remains a place to watch a game of cricket o
n a Sunday afternoon.
The Royal Selangor Club's Tudor-style building, built in 1890 is in stark contrast to the Moorish Sultan Abdul Samad government building across the square.
KUALA LUMPUR OH KUALA LUMPUR

Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor

Kami terpaksa menunggu lebih kurang 20 minit untuk naik ke atas dengan menaiki 'trem'. Harga tiket untuk orang dewasa RM2 dan kanak-kanak RM1.
Bukit Malawati is one of the popular place in Selangor and amongst the tourist attraction. It is located in Kuala Selangor.
During the 19th century, there was a fort built on Bukit Malawati and the purpose of this fort was to defend the state of Selangor from its enemies which came from the river mouth. Bukit Malawati has a lighthouse and several old colonial houses b
uilt during the British days.
Paling menarik terdapat banyak Monyet dan agak bersopan-santun serta tidak menggangu pelawat2 yang datang. This families of "Silver-Leafed Monkeys" and Long-Tailed
Macaques hang around here for peanut handouts from visitors. The Silver-leafed babies have golden fur
as compared with the adults of dull-ashen grey.
Bukit Malawati also offers a panoramic view of the Selangor coast and the Klang Valley.
Bukit Kepong
Again with my cheap camera, travelling and leisure-driving along the Malaysian country side. We had one day decided to travel around Johor and since we are not familiar with Johor we had then bought a Johor map as a guide to our destination.
One of the location that we had stopped is a ‘Tragic History Place’ called BUKIT KEPONG.
History of Bukit Kepong
History of the incident in Bukit Kepong took place on 23/2/1950 between the police and the Malayan Communist in pre-independence Malaya. This conflict took place in an area surrounding the BUKIT KEPONG police station and the wooden station was located on the river banks of the Muar River which is about 59km from Muar town, Johor.
Mengikut sejarah seramai 25 orang telah terkorban termasuk ahli keluarga mereka yang sama-sama berjuang melawan komunis. Walaupun pasukan polis telah tewas kepada pihak komunis, tetapi semangat juang mereka tetap akan dikenang sampai bila-bila dan mereka yang terkorban termasuk ahli2 keluarga mereka dianggap wira negara.
It is a quiet town and at the time when we arrived at the Police Station of Bukit Kepong it was raining…but we manage to take some photos for sharing purpose. The wooden police station now had been rebuild as per the above photo.

Kami bertolak dari rumah pada pukul 10.52 pagi dan perjalanan kami mengambil masa 1 jam dan sejauh 64km. How to get there.........
Shah Alam -----> Sungai Buloh -----> Kepong -----> Batu Caves -----> Ulu Yam Bharu
Hulu Yam/Ulu Yam is a very popular spot and located at boarders of Kuala Lumpur. From Kuala Lumpur its take about 50km to reach our designated location i.e. Sungai Pinang, Ulu Yam. Memandangkan ramai orang bercuti panjang sempena Tahun Baru China...semua tempat perkhelahan popular seperti Sungei Tua dan Air Terjun Sendat (boleh dilihat dari jalan utama) crowded with people. Therefore, we decided to go further up towards Genting....Huh!!! finally we manage to find a strategic and privacy place for our family.....a few people noted came for fishing here. This place is fantastic...is like a beach & the water is clean and cold too. The weather today is very2 hot....but we really enjoy ourself without any disturbance.......
This is the place we enjoy the day
