The Malaysian Army museum, on the coastal road south of Port Dickson, a town long home to military camps. It tells the story of the Malay army from the founding of the Malay Regiment in 1933, through the Second World War and Japanese occupation and the Malayan Emergency, to Malaysian peacekeeping missions around the world. What visitors, and children especially, love most is the broad outdoor yard full of real military hardware: tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, aircraft and helicopters you can approach and photograph. Inside are halls of weapons, uniforms, medals and documents, and a tunnel recreating the fighters' jungle tunnels. Since the start of 2025 the museum charges entry after nineteen years of free admission: about five ringgit for non-Malaysian adults and two for children aged seven to twelve and seniors. It opens Wednesday to Sunday from ten to five and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays. An hour or two is enough; the outdoor yard is exposed to the sun, so come in the morning. The museum lies on the way between the town and the beaches of Teluk Kemang and the Cape Rachado lighthouse.
Real military hardware in the yard.
Since the Malay Regiment of 1933.
A yard little ones love.
Jalan Pantai, about 5 km south of Port Dickson town
Very: the yard of tanks and aircraft draws children in, and the fee is token. Come in the morning before the heat, and remember it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
