I've been there like five times and I'm still not tired of it even though this has little tourist or people coming to the museum I still go there because it's free and be cause I love the army
i think the main reason why the lack of English signage/description is because most foreign tourists who visiting Malaysia did not come to museums/memorials... Museums/Memorials/Monuments in Malaysia are frequently visited by locals particularly school students...
I also wonder if perhaps in those days, getting a good English translation was more difficult. These days, it's quite easy to do with computers. And perhaps there weren't as many international tourists back then. To me, it feels like the there are FAR more people going to other countries for trips and holidays today than there used to be. I think it's more important now to have information in some kind of a common or international language. But back then, it probably didn't matter at all.
Hi Doug. Have you walked up to Tanjung Tuan where the lighthouse is? Quite challenging because of the ongoing incline but the forest trees will provide shade and if you stand on a ledge just by the lighthouse, you will be rewarded with a great view across the horizon. Some time in January or February, PD will see the Raptor migratory season from Siberia, and Tanjung Tuan will be a focal point for many bird watchers.
Unfortunately, I never made it to that area. I had plans in the back of my mind to go there, particularly when I learned that a historic naval battle occurred right off the coast. But I never made it.
🙏🏻Thank you for the virtual tour of the PD Army Museum 👍🏻. 💪🏻keep it up 🦾 🕓 Time 11:50 🤔 Why do most governments run places usually only display Malay language? - 🥸 In addition to the difficulty of having a good translation, 🤦🏻♂️there are many other issues related to it, including politics, supremacy, race, culture, history, law, and constitution, etc, which are not easy to explain. 🕓 Time 19:33 & 20:00 The Pangkor Treaty (With it's iconic round table) - The treaty was not signed on Pangkor Island as many people thought so but on the colonial ship Pluto between Lumut and Pangkor Island. 👉🏽 The Pangkor Treaty of 1874 was a treaty signed between Great Britain and the Sultan of Perak on 20 January 1874. The treaty is significant in the history of the Malay states as it legitimised British control of the Malay rulers and paved the way for British imperialism in Malaya to solve two problems: the Larut War (Series of 4 wars) and Sultanship in Perak. However on 2 Nov 1875 ... 🕓 Time 19:39 🤔 Heroes or villains ? - Interpretation of history depend on which side you are with. History is written by the victor 🕓 Time 20:54 Dato Maharajalela - In KL, there was a road called Birch Road, but was renamed Jalan Maharajalela to honour him. 👉🏽 JWW Birch was the first Perak British Resident, was kill by Maharaja Lela while the former was taking his bath near a river at Pasir Salat, Perak. 👉🏽 This 1875, 2nd November event led to the outbreak of the Perak War and ultimately to the extension of British political influence over the Malay Peninsula. 🕓 Time 26:28 The Insurgents - The Emergency was never officially declared as "War" to protect planters and miners from void insurance claims. 😓 Two different ideologies working towards the same goal of attending national independence, unfortunately they have to fight between each other which leaves many hateful memories when loved ones suffer during the conflict. 👉🏽 The Baling Talks were held on 28 and 29 December 1955 in an attempt to resolve the Malayan Emergency situation but failed. The main participants were Chin Peng (representing the Malayan Communist Party), David Marshall (representing the Crown Colony of Singapore), and Tunku Abdul Rahman (representing the Government of the Federation of Malaya). 👉🏽 On 17 June 1968 to 1989, The MCP start a 2nd insurgency in Malaysia to mark the 20th anniversary of their armed struggle against the Malaysian Government and also in tandem with cold war and Vietnam war. This Communist insurgency in Malaysia, also known as the Second Malayan Emergency. 🙏🏼Thankfully on 2 December 1989 in Hatyai with Thais acting as mediators, A Peace Accord was signed by MCP and Malaysia government. 😎 🚲 As you cycle around, you will come across many Chinese New Village/Kampung Baru Cina. 👉🏽 The new villages have its root during the Japanese Occupation (1942-45). Many local Chinese moved to the fringe of jungle to escape away from the Japanese army as the local Chinese were treated particularly harshly for their supporting mainland China against Japanese. 👉🏽 During the Emergency 1948 - 60) in order to cut off supply to the communists, The Briggs Plan force these Chinese jungle fringe settlers into concentration camps called "New villages". With given only a few hours on the spot, the households need to pack up all their belongings into an army truck and moved to predefined small plot land with fence surrounding the whole area with a guarded main entrance. They literally have to built their new house from scratch. 👉🏽 Roughly 10% of Malaya's population were forcibly transferred from their land and moved to concentration camps euphemistically referred to as "new villages". During the Emergency, there were over 400 of these settlements. 👉🏽 Since then, New Village have evolved leaps and bounds. However, most of the young people have moved to urban centres but they will always come back to their roots in New Village. 📖 An interesting book "The War of the Running Dogs", How Malaya Defeated the Communist Guerrillas, 1948-60 is a 1971 non-fiction history book by British writer Noel Barber about the Malayan Emergency.
when i visit the war remnants museum in ho chi minh early this year..i would never imagine the war horror they clearly display on the building alongside the actual stuff were used like weapon,ammo, bombs and the makeshift trapped the veit kong used to fight the US army in the jungle..it took me a lot to process after seeing photos of thosed bodies..the destruction cause by bombs and ammunition also faces of deep trauma..in fact,i feel bad the whole day after visiting that remnants museum..it leave me a huge impression on how a war,civil war could destroy land and the people
I don't know if it is the same museum, but I visited a war museum in Ho Chi Minh City a long time ago. I forget the name of it, but it focused heavily on the weapons used by the Americans. It felt like the Vietnam War was still fresh in people's mind when I was there. There were bars named after Vietnam War movies, and they had the sound of helicopter rotors and bombs going off playing on the bar's speakers and things like that. I don't remember being affected emotionally after my visit to the museums in Vietnam, but they were definitely more visceral and more dramatic than a military museum like this one in PD. It felt like the weapons on display had all been used in the war and had been used in the fighting.
@@PlanetDoug might be the same museum,but no more bars with music these days.. instead they focused on educated the visitors about the history event itself..who involved,why it happen..things like that..and the display of horror and stuff belong to the war were there to make it even more dramatic..its all bring me back to memory,where i sit with my dad watching his favorite action movie from the 80s..RAMBO..
Yes, the tune did sound a bit like an opening to Born to Be Wild. It kept reminding me of something, and then I finally figured out it was Born to Be Wild. But it's just a generic tune from the RUclips Audio Library. And I think I did settle on it because it seemed to suit the tone of military hardware from Vietnam war movies.
Yo Dough. Don't miss tte light house in Tanjung Tuan ( Cape Ricardo). It's the first lighthouse built by the Portuguese. Behind it is a trail that leads to a secluded beach. Nice place for a quiet moment to heal ✌️
One of my regrets now is that I didn't visit this area. I spotted it on Google Maps, and I assumed I would drop by there at some point. It looked interesting. But I never made it.
I think you forgot the commanders galeri it shows who the general was in history and it shows trophies and achievements basically it shows medals and trophies
Was that inside the building near the parking lot? I remember there was a large building there that I never went into. I didn't know whether it was part of the museum or open to the public, I guess.
Yes, a bit more English would be nice for a foreign visitor like me. But I guess they know that the vast majority of their visitors would be from Malaysia. And it would cost money to have all the info in multiple languages. I still enjoyed the museum despite the lack of English. 😀
That's true. And I believe it has erupted a second time quite recently. I was surprised to learn how many climbers were actually on the volcano during the eruption and how many of them died. Luckily, the villages on the slopes of the volcano (such as the one where I lived) were not damaged and there were no injuries or fatalities there. Had I still been there, I would have experienced all the volcanic ash covering everything, but that is probably all.
i planet point on my honest review is on ur video is C or C- coz Malaysia is not born ny war by by invasion and conquer of the colonial....nothing much to tell n see about our military exactly coz all our equipments and weapon are from western country either by donation or the goverment buying it...every army are just evolving according time...but overall i like ur video bro...
I don't know what that gallery is. I followed the directions in the museum, and I thought they led me to all the galleries, so I don't think I missed anything. Perhaps I went to that gallery but didn't include any video from it.

Thank you for all that great information. It was a pleasure to read. And it helps me understand a lot of what I saw at the museum better.

The two aircraft are Canadians. The big bomber type is a de Havilland Caribou and the smaller one is a Canadair cl41.
this is my dormitory during my recruitment in Port Dickson on 1992
Doug at 25:25 that's a de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou
Short takeoff and landing aircraft, a product of Canada, good to know!
Sorry, it's actually 35:25
Thanks for pointing that out. I read through the Wikipedia page about that plane, and it has an interesting history. I had no idea it was from Canada.
22:59.... Nice Vietnam era music,, just waiting for " Born to Be Wild " song to pop out,
Stay safe and stay happy 🎉

Another very informative , well-explained , well-shot , enjoyable video . Truly appreciated.
Thanks, Myanmar Mike.
The Ruler of Negeri Sembilan is called “Yamtuan” and not Sultan. The Yamtuan is elected from four leading prince of Negeri Sembilan.

You are a legend
Thank you. 😎
Woah hang on, is the Nuri helicopter in the thumbnail a new artifact there?
Nice 👍🏾
im from malaysia
The museum is pretty nice. Feel like entering to a ghost house 😁, a bit scary but good idea. If they have English language, it is better.
Yes, a bit more English would be nice for a foreign visitor like me. But I guess they know that the vast majority of their visitors would be from Malaysia. And it would cost money to have all the info in multiple languages. I still enjoyed the museum despite the lack of English. 😀
You can google camera translate ..just snap it
The Police Museum in Kuala Lumpur have better description of the collective items from the 16th century item
You left bukit tinggi and the volcano erupted.
That's true. And I believe it has erupted a second time quite recently. I was surprised to learn how many climbers were actually on the volcano during the eruption and how many of them died. Luckily, the villages on the slopes of the volcano (such as the one where I lived) were not damaged and there were no injuries or fatalities there.

Do you condemn kHamas
Bro, you haven’t go to the chief of army gallery?
I don't know what that gallery is. I followed the directions in the museum, and I thought they led me to all the galleries, so I don't think I missed anything. Perhaps I went to that gallery but didn't include any video from it.
It was located behind the old armoured vehicles, there are 2 floors there perhaps you should use the stairs.
