There are nine galleries including a recreated tunnel of the the ones used by Communist guerrillas during the Malay Emergency. This is particularly well done and gives you some insights into how the Communist guerillas must have lived.

second look
3 months agoPlace is cool, almost got the equipment that retired. Well maintained? 50/50. Those under shelter are in sort of good shape but those not under shelter, with their hatches open all being exposed to rain and stuff.
Pt91m tank displayed under shelter when?
Also theres a replica Japanese Ha Go tank, dont really know where it came from but they should put some info about the tank instead of sitting there with nothing about it -

4 months agoIt a learning walk.
With audio install in each vehicle, we can imagine how it works.
It's a public attraction and free.
2 hours should be ample for the tour.
Solemn respect to all our fallen warriors and salute to all retired and in service personel. -

5 months agoGood place to visit. Quite a huge place, need about 3 hours to finish up the tour. So many information we can gather here. Also got underground tunnel lead tu back yard garden. Suitable to bring kids but definitely this place busy during school holiday because of free entrance.
