Jalan Puki Mak Ulah


Driver : Nak ke mana cik?

Penumpang: Saya nak ke bandar Sunway. Dekat jer, rumah saya kat Jalan Puki Mak U lah…

Driver : Cik, kita ni orang Melayu. Tak boleh ke gunakan bahasa yang lebih sopan.

Penumpang: Nak sopan macam mana lagi bang. Dah memang itu nama jalannya.

Driver : %$#@&*
Located in the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur and set amongst its neighbourhood of historical buildings and romantic parkland, Muzium Negara’s architecture is a fine blend of the traditional Malay style and modern lines. The museum building, apart from being stimulative from the point of tradition also presents a panaromic view of the development of Malaysia, as depicted by the two large murals of Italian glass mosaic which extend across the Museum’s facade. Muzium Negara was officially opened on 31 August 1963, is a repository of Malaysia’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

Muzium Negara is a three storied structure of 109.7 meters long and 15.1 meters wide and 37.6 meters at the central point. The museum houses four main galleries specialising in ethnology and natural history. The displays range from free-standing tableau showing traditional cultural events like weddings, festivals and beautiful costumes; to the rich variety of weapons, musical instruments, arts and crafts, precious ceramics, and flora & fauna.

Muzium Negara attracts some half million visitors annually. The museum is located at Jalan Damansara and is open from 9.00 am – 6pm daily. It is only closed on the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya AidilAdha. Admission is RM2.00 for adults and children above 12 years old.

There are 4 galeries in the muzium. The galeries are:

1) Galeri Kemunculan Masyarakat Awal
2) Galeri Kerajaan-Kerajaan Melayu Awal
3) Galeri Negeri-negeri Melayu, Sabah dan Sarawak 1511 - 1945
4) Galeri Gerakan Nasionalisma, Kemerdekaan dan Malaysia Kini

Zoo Negara

Zoo Negara Malaysia is managed by the Malaysian Zoological Society, a non-governmental organization established to create the first local zoo for Malaysians. Zoo Negara is now 45 years old and has matured into a well-known zoo all around the world. We have a total of over 5137 animals from 459 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Zoo Negara covers 110 acres of land which is situated only 5km from the city of Kuala Lumpur. Over the years, the zoo has transformed itself to an open concept zoo with over 90% of its animals kept in spacious exhibits with landscape befitting its nature. We are working in making sure that the old zoo concept is changed entirely.
