The Palace. 
Done by: Zheng Jie
A trip to the Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Museum sure is interesting to me. It is the very first time i visited a royal Museum. The first thing that caught my eye was the grand furnitures that was preserved for a hundred over years.
Though there were many rules and regulations that we have to abide ,such as no touching of the items, we were still able to gain enough knowledge about the history of the Sultans of Johor.I learnt that from the past, people used hunting to determine how strong and powerful a person is.Many large animals such as tigers and rhinoceros were hunted by the sultans. Though the royal family no longer live there, they will still use this place for certain functions. There was also a very clear history of the Museum.
The thing that impressed me the most was the Kris which symbolizes a power of a family.A unique Kris symbolizes a powerful family. Anyone holding on to the Sultan's Kris can kill anyone he wants without the permission from the sultan. After 5 generations have passed, the preservation of the Royal museum and traditions still exist . This museum enables me to understand the long history of the sultans in Johor. It is a place to those that have went to will want to go again and to those who have not, its a MUST go place!
