HRH SULTANAH KALSOM THE SULTANAH OF PAHANG VISITS ISTANA NEGARA LAMA (FORMER NATIONAL PALACE) NOW THE ROYAL MUSEUM. THE OLD ISTANA NEGARA OR NATIONAL PALACE WAS OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF HIS MAJESTY THE KING AND HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF MALAYSIA FROM 1957 TO 2011 WHEN THE NEW ISTANA NEGARA OR NATIONAL PALACE WAS COMPLETED. IN 2013 THE OLD PALACE WAS CONVERTED INTO THE CURRENT ROYAL MUSEUM. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE KING OF MALAYSIA MOVED INTO A PURPOSE BUILT PALACE AS THE OLD ISTANA NEGARA WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT BY A CHINESE BUSINESSMAN CHAN WING IN 1928 AND USED AS RESIDENCE OF THE JAPANESE GOVERNOR GENERAL DURING WORLD WAR 2 WHEN THE MALAY PENINSULA WAS OCCUPIED. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE SULTANAH OF PAHANG SULTANAH KALSOM VERY KINDLY TOOK HER LOCAL AND OVERSEAS GUESTS TO VISIT THE ROYAL MUSEUM AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TOO. THE TOUR LASTED OVER AN HOUR AND IT WAS SO ENJOYABLE AND ENLIGHTENING I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ROYAL MUSEUM FOR EVERY MALAYSIAN! IT IS A STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE FOR THE OVER 50 AND SHORT COURSE IN MALAYSIAN HISTORY FOR THE UNDER 50!
