Hear From Others

The wonderful thing about this museum, when compared to those under the National or State Governments, is that this tribute to the past has been put together entirely by volunteers and private funds. This is a positive demonstration of what can be done by a small dedicated group of people who share a common purpose.

Although the items on display at the Sitiawan Settlement Museum are not that ‘aged’, it still makes quite an educational visit, particularly if you are interested in the Fuzhou clan and dialect, because it records the history of the clan’s settlement in Malaysia.
