Royal Malaysian Police Museum - Transports



We live in a relatively safe era.  No treats from armed communist elements out to over-throw the government.  That is the probable reason we don't see too many police armored cars around, only military ones.

They do have a good collection at the museum.
























In addition to these secure vehicles for police personnel, former IGPs' official cars are also on display.




After the assassination of the then IGP, many conspiracy theories abounded.  The official 'bogey man' then were the communists.  Though to-date nothing has been proven or otherwise.








Well folks, that's all that I have on the Royal Malaysian Police Museum.  Maybe sometime in the future I'll be allowed to take photos inside the museum.

Royal Malaysian Police Museum - Big Guns



As you would have guessed by now, I didn't go into the museum.  There are quite a lot of exhibits outside the building to make even such a short, unplanned visit like mine worth it.  These are some of the cannons on display.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Well, this last one may not be a gun, but after all that fire power, you must have something to put off the fire.

Royal Malaysian Police Museum






I consider myself a true KLite.  Yet I did not know of the existence of the Royal Malaysian Police Museum here in KL.

I was in the Lake Gardens area behind Masjid Negara (National Masjid) getting some photos to update this blog when I came across this sign: 
 
I peeped through the opening and saw this: 
 
This was the side entrance.  I then made my way to the main entrance.
 
 
 
The guard house at the entrance.
 
 
 
I don't know what this represents as I did not see any signage nearby.
  
 
This railway signal would be more significant at the railway museum.
