Fighter jet display to raise interest in museum
MELAKA: A plan to put on display a retired Russian-built MiG-29 fighter jet at the Submarine Museum at Klebang here will raise interest in the museum, says Klebang assemblyman Datuk Lim Ban Hong. 'The museum recorded more than 100,000 visitors last year, which demonstrates strong public interest in its displays. 'In an effort to attract more public interest, the management is planning to introduce new exhibits that will not only complement the museum's existing maritime theme, but also introduce new elements,' he said. The MiG-29, developed by the Soviet Union and widely used by various air forces around the world, was a core component of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) from 1995 until its retirement in 2017. 'Placing it at the museum allows the public to appreciate not just the country's naval achievements, but also the strength and evolution of our air force,' he added. The museum, which was opened in 2011, is already home to the Quessant, a decommissioned French-built Agosta class submarine that once trained Malaysia's pioneer submarine crews between 2005 and 2009.
