So it's not just the National Planetarium that has a problem..
Curious to see what the National Museum is like (about 10 years after i last visited), i thought i'd check out their website first. The place as i remember it was dark, dank and pretty lousy and, giving them the benefit of the doubt, i thought they might have improved!
Well, their website is currently being upgraded but the Department of Museums website has the following entry:
Pending (I think this refers to a Malay word)
Pending is belt head which weared by Malay society together with official cloth in a official council. Man category wearing together with sarung or sampin. It also weared by women category in a official council.
Cik Siti Wan Kembang is Malay women which wearing Pending around 15th century. Collection most Pending around 15th century. Collection most pending gold which have found from Malay royal family. Art results which delicate on Pending gold which enough impress is results from gold craftsman hand job on that time. Have also belt head which closely same function had be made by Chinese gold craftsman for Society
Peranakan Chinese at Melaka, Penang Island and Singapore.
Oh dear lord it's atrocious!
By the way, can you see the school teacher in me coming out? I'd shatter the government's self-esteem if they were in my class...
