Today, i bump into an interesting title while walking in front of Galeri PETRONAS at KLCC..... -PAMERAN KESULTANAN PERAK (The Perak Sultanate Exhibition). A large image of 'Keris Taming Sari' that had catch my eyes which make me spend half and hour, reading and examine all the exhibit area.....
Quite an impressive exhibit, even thought there is no 'Keris Taming Sari' being displayed. (but if not mistaken, there's a replica of the 'keris' being put as part of Royal Costume display). Its still a good exhibit with a lot of pictorial information dated back from Parameswara- founder of Malacca Sultanate.
One thing that attract me most is the 'Tujuh Wasiat Raja-Raja Melayu Kepada Rakyat' (The 7 Will of the Malay Rulers to the People)- a promise by all the Malay Rulers that were presented before the Independence to the Malay peoples as the original people and the subject of the Malay Rulers- which i'll detail it up in another posting....
The Perak Sultanate Exhibition start from 26 April 2012 until 24 June 2012. I highly recommended this exhibit for those who love Malaysian History.... especially the Malays
p/s: Last month, I've been given a task to propose a display area entitled -'The Art of Carving in Malay Weaponry' which include 'Keris Taming Sari' as the highlighted item.... till now I've no information on a proper handling of this well-known mystical 'keris'... hhmmmmm..... i've handled normal 'keris' display before- and its got a lot of do & don't... wait till i get my hand into 'Keris Taming Sari'..
