2011-03-05 Stamp Exhibition Muzium Negara MALAYSIA

Muzium Negara (Kuala Lumpur), just bought not many of stamps here, all with face value price.

Crossed by the car park saw a few military trucks and army tank... hohoho... it's huge and looks powerful...

That time was just rushing to buy some pos stuffs here, forgot to take a Museum picture, next time should replace 1 Musem photo here. But I got the most likely vehicle picture, the Old Fire Engine which display beside the walkway of National Museum.

This fire engine, which had been in service from 1958 until 1981 (wow, I just born this year…), was donated by the examiners of the Fire Service Department of the Federal Territory , Kuala Lumpur to the National Museum on 6^th January 1982.
