We enjoy to explore some interesting Malaysian's museums. We learn about Malaysian's treasure like the local culture, orang asli's treasure life, traditional architecture, kris, and many. It help you get to know more about the nation's rich historical and cultural heritage deeper when you are curious about how Malaysia was formed. According to our history, Melaka started with Parameswara, first Sultan of Melaka. That is why my group and I enjoyed to experience the challenges of traditional games, hunt answers in the activities and quizzes about the history in every museum since we took participate in the Media Challenge 2.0 with the media and bloggers for 3 days 2 nights trip in Negeri Sembilan and Melaka, Malaysia!

Because Lukut used to be the tin mining town, as it has grown to be big village since the Chinese miners come to work in Lukut.
