Terengganu museum 'not haunted'

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu state museum is not haunted, said its director Mohd Yusof Abdullah.

"It is far from being a rumah hantu (haunted house) and there is nothing to be afraid of," he said, adding that the museum was rich with cultural artefacts.

The museum department had been organising events and activities for the public especially students, he said yesterday.

Mohd Yusof was commenting on State Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology and Human Resources Committee chairman Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman's call for museum staff to improve marketing and promotions as the public, especially students, have a misconception that the museum is haunted.

On Monday, Ahmad Razif said students had told him they were scared to visit the museum as it reminded them of a haunted house.

Mohd Yusof said the museum had its own website via the state government official portal (http://museum.terengganu.gov.my) as well as its own Facebook page and online blog (http://muziumnegeriterengganu.blogspot.com).

Those with enquiries can contact the museum at 09-622 1444 or e-mail webmaster@muzium.terengganu.gov.my.
