National Museum

2.2 History of the Museum

The present National Museum building was built on the site of the former Selangor

Museum, which was opened in 1906. The right wing of the Selangor Museum was destroyed after

it was hit by a stray bomb from a B29 Allied bomber during World War Two in March 1945. Part

of the collections, which was saved, was moved elsewhere, with some taken to the Perak Museum

in Taiping by Japanese officers who were managing the Selangor Museum at the time.

After the surrender of the Japanese, British officers took over in managing the museum. Thus,

from 1945 until 1952, Kuala Lumpur had no museum. Efforts to build a temporary museum to

house the nation’s heritage were initiated by General Sir Gerald Templer. He built a building

measuring 60 feet long and 30 feet wide. This temporary museum lasted for about eight years.

After the Federation of Malaya achieved independence on August 31 1957, the Prime Minister,

Tunku Abdul Rahman, initiated the construction of a National Museum on the site of the former

Selangor Museum. He launched the project on September 16 1958. Ho Kok Hoe, an architect from

Singapore, submitted several building designs that were based on Malay palace architecture and

local Malay artistic elements.

At the same time, UNESCO provided some assistance by sending Lother P Witterburg, a museum

expert and architect, who was formerly the Head of the Exhibition Division of the Natural History

Museum in New York.

After Tunku Abdul Rahman had selected the building design, a construction company, Syarikat

Yew Lee, was appointed to begin construction of the National Museum on January 2 1962. The

building measured 124 square feet, 362 feet long and 60 feet wide.

During construction, several museum experts came to offer their expert advice on the design of

the exhibits. Among them were John Irwin and JJ Lowry from the Victoria and Albert Museum in

London. They were here for 5 months but JJ Lowry later returned to replace Mubin Sheppard as

Museum Director. To further beautify the building, two large murals on the front part were erected

to reflect the country’s cultural and historical heritage. These murals were made from Italian

mosaic at a cost of a million and a half ringgit, which was contributed by Dato’ Lee Keng Chian.

The illustrations on the murals were the work of Cheong Lai Tong from Kuala Lumpur who won

a painting competition organised by the Prime Minister’s Department.

The construction of the National Museum building also attracted the attention of the Pakistan

Government, which donated the blue mosaic tiles in the Central Hall. These tiles were specially

painted and imported from Pakistan. A philanthropist from Singapore, Aw Cheng Chye, also

Page 8: MAD 3003 FINAL YEAR PROJECT 1 - Multimedia University · The ancient Malay Hindu-Buddhist states of Gangga Negara, Srivijaya and Majapahit are referenced. Among the collections are

extended his assistance by donating the mosaic tiles that adorned the main stairway of the museum.

Initially, some of the exhibits were donated by various individuals including His Majesty the

Sultan of Johor.

The National Museum has four permanent display galleries. The first gallery is known as Gallery

‘A’, which exhibits local cultural artifacts, while the second gallery known as Gallery ‘B’ displays

historical artifacts, archaeological findings, traditional handicrafts, the numismatic collection, as

well as Malay and Orang Asli weapons. The Central Hall is used to house temporary exhibitions.

On the second floor, Gallery ‘C’ houses the natural history collection such as mammals, reptiles,

insects, birds and geology. Gallery ‘D’ displays exhibits relating to the country’s economic

activities such as commercial farming, the tin mining industry, fishery and public transport.

Works to complete the building and to prepare the exhibitions were carried out simultaneously

with the involvement of numerous researchers, workers and craftsmen who were highly skilled in

their respective fields. Among them were Nik Zainal Abidin bin Nik Salleh, Wan Su Wan Othman

and Shaharuddin Tahir who had drawn the decorations inside and outside the building, the carving

on the main front entrance door, and the ceiling carvings in the Central Hall and Ceremonial Hall.

Other artists and craftsmen who also contributed significantly to the preparation of the permanent

exhibits were Waveney Jenkins, Abdul Wahab Mohd Tahir (museum artist), Hossein Enas, Raja

Teh Zaiton, Sharum Yub, Brian Peacock and Ismail Bakti. Waveney Jenkins created the Hang

Tuah mural guided by Dato’ Paduka Maharajalela Nik Mustapha Fadhil with two soldiers from

the First Royal Malay Battalion as models.

Raja Teh Zaiton made enormous contributions to the Perak royal wedding tableau, which remains

to this day, with the assistance of Puan Teh Fatimah from Ipoh, also an expert in Perak royal attire.

The exhibits at the Natural History Gallery were the work of a taxidermist from Denmark, Arne S

Dyhrberg. He was loaned by the Indonesian government to the National Museum while he was

employed at the Natural History Museum in Bogor, Java. While at the National Museum, he

trained the staff in taxidermy work. Among the staff were Wee Ho Cheng and Rahmat Ahmad.

After a year, the building was completed. Within the same period, work to prepare the permanent

exhibitions was continuing. Finally, on 31 August 1963, the National Museum building was

officially opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Syed Putra Ibni Almarhum Syed Hasan

Jamalullail.

2.3 Museum Characteristics

The museum was design by Ho Kok Hoe, the architect. It was inspired by the architecture

of the Malay royal palaces and vernacular Malay architecture. The design incorporated the need

for exhibition and activity spaces. The large mosaic murals spanning the entrance depict the history

and culture of the country. The floor of the central section of the main building is decorated with

Page 10: MAD 3003 FINAL YEAR PROJECT 1 - Multimedia University · The ancient Malay Hindu-Buddhist states of Gangga Negara, Srivijaya and Majapahit are referenced. Among the collections are

special tiles which were gifts from the government of Pakistan. In addition, UNESCO facilitated

consultancies by museum experts from other museums around the world.

Displays and exhibits in the museum focus on local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts,

economic activities, local flora and fauna, weapons and currency.

The museum houses various galleries, each with its own theme. The ground floor showcases the

geographic and natural history of the Malay Peninsula starting with the Stone Age, the Bronze Age

to the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government. In 1987, the Department of

Museums was again moved to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, of which was later renamed

5.4 Development of tourism industry

5.4.1 History of tourism

In the past, travel was confined to the wealthy as leisure travel was costly and was not common

among the common people of the time.

During the middle ages, the practice of religious pilgrimages began to spread where even the lower

classes began distant journeys of spiritual and religious nature. Travel writers were also prominent

during this time period where they would travel around the world documenting their journey.

Modern tourism could trace its roots back to what was known as Grand Tour, which was a trip

around Europe usually by upper-class Europeans as an educational trip. This practice then spread

to the middle classes as the emergence of rail-transits had lowered the barrier of entry to travelling.

Modern day tourism, is mainly as known as leisure tourism. It was usually associated with the

industrial revolution in Europe and the appearance of the first travel company, the Cox and Kings.

10.1 Examples of Advertising Strategy

Lynx: Angels Will Fall

It is an advertisement which is created to be broadcasted on television. But it has been used in

online and outdoor too. The full advertisement is about 1 minute and 31 seconds long. And other

version of advertisement that took 30 seconds and 45 seconds are also created. In this ad, the

message is sent to audience is that Lynx Excite is the deodorant spray which can makes a man to

attract angel like woman. Lynx excite is so irresistible that woman will do anything for it.

In this ad we see how women are stereotypically shown as these good looking and sexy girls in

some point seems as an angel. As also we see how a women is at home putting out the clothes,

showing a stereotype of women be the “housewife”.

As the good looking and sexy girls falling from heaven show a sense of the male fantasy. Angels

did everything to get the man. They broke their halos too. It represents how strongly a woman can

be attracted to a man.

The advertisement was shot in Italy. The atmosphere is so believable. Ancient structure of the

buildings makes the story more believable.

At beginning of the ad, when angels fell on the ground there was pin point silence. All sorts of

people are astonished by the incidence. Silence grabbed the attention and intentionally told

audience how important it is. No sexy man was shown at the very first moment. Angels were going

somewhere. It made people to think what angels are up to. But at last they found the man who

sprayed Lynx excite. It means that Lynx Excite is so unique that it can attract anybody from

anywhere.

Woman are represented as angels, on the other hand, men is represented as god. All angels were

going towards god representing women are actually in the world for male pleasures and desires.

There were different types of camera shots has been used. Most of the shots are taken from a safe

distance. There were some very close shots for example when angels have seen the man for first

time showing their desire in their face.

Italian music has been used which is similar to church chorus. The music makes the ad more

realistic. Music brought more seriousness on the ad. Story telling technique has been used in this

ad. Myth has been turned into a humorous and sexy.

Lynx has been criticised for using woman as very sex-addict in most of their ads. But in this,

women are represented as angels. It shows how they are changing their techniques and reacting to

critics.
