Muzium Warisan Melayu - UPM

Universiti Putra Malaysia
(Formerly known as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia)

Muzium Warisan Melayu

Malay Heritage Museum
(Under the Faculty of Modern Language and Communication)




The museum was very well organized and air conditioned. It featured artifacts, textiles, weaponry ~ equipped with detailed information. No photography allowed inside!




This is the outdoor museum whereby there are supposed to be 5 refurbished old Malay heritage houses. 
The latest review I read was 3 months ago so I was expecting a well maintained outdoor museum.

It felt HAUNTED to me!!!

Look at this description of the first house. Nobody bothered to repair it. It was left there just like that.

First house I saw was from Negeri Sembilan,
House of Dato’ Raja Diwangsa Seri Menanti



It was unlocked. There was no No Entry sign.
I went in!

Pitch black!!!

I turned on the switches, nothing worked.

I was actually expecting a nenek kebayan to be sitting at one corner!!!






Slowly walked inside and managed to open a window.
Ahhhh…. Light!!!


Wanna see how upstairs look like!

Could not see a thing but after editing this photo… hey, is that an antique gramophone on the cupboard?

Okay, leaving the first house




Look at the stairs! Nobody swept. Nobody maintained. Felt like I was entering a jungle.

Doesn’t that look like a haunted house to you?!!!





Under the house


Second House is from Kampung Pendiat, Bota Kanan, Perak,
House of Uda Noh B. Kanda Jaafar

Yayyy, it’s opened!






Terengganu

Third House is from Kampung Tanjung, Terengganu,
House of Haji Wan Muda Haji Wan Hassan

Most interesting house (to me) but it’s locked!






Locked!!!

That’s the Terengganu house from afar

Pahang

Look at the finely manicured lawn, yet they only maintained this portion. Why? Coz it’s facing the main road?


Pahang


Fourth House from Kampung Kelola, Jerantut, Pahang,
House of Penghulu Ismail bin Khatib Bakar







Ohhh it’s locked! Grrrr…
I’ll enter via the other door then!



An antique bed!!!




Okayyyyy, where’s the 5th house????
