Anyways, tbh, I didn't expect myself to visit this place as I have visited the Sun Yat Sen Museum, but due to a mistake / misunderstanding in an invalid purchase of tickets online, I am graced with this opportunity to visit the museum and is also meet the owner which was very friendly and engaging, providing my friends and I, a very in depth yet also a very concise explanation of the entire history before we dived deep into enjoying the exhibits.

Read moreA very well curated museum documenting the works of Dr Sun Yat Sen during his fight for the Chinese Revolution, as well as the struggle of the Straits Chinese during the 2nd World War and the Japanese Invasion and Occupation.

Entrance is only at RM10 per adult....
