main road to the museumWeakness• Too many steps, not suitable for elderly

or OKU • Suggestion: provide ramp and railings

provide more platform or benches for people to have picnic around. The pathway is quite long, therefore people will spend time to look around at the surroundings and have a different perception towards the site.

stuff will be reduce.Weakness• The museum is placed in the middle of the forest, little amount of people will pass

through it.• Road sign is not provided therefore the people living nearby are not aware about the

museum.Opportunity• Actually there are 3 different primary and secondary school around, there is also

PLKN kem and another camp around.• If the museum is take care nicely it will be a very good opportunity for the next

generation to know more about the past history.Threat• With the limited amount of road signage and the limited information about the

museum, not much people be aware of this museum.• Suggestion: Social media should advertise more about the museum.• Something interesting should be done towards the museum to attract people to

come. (etc. The museum should not only used to attract people who are interested with the history and artifacts. Artworks, architecture and all kind of different aspect should be think and improve on so that the amount of people coming in will increase.)

• The adjacent street leads the vehicles coming from outside to the 3 different part. First, to the parking lots where there is a surau and toilet there.

• Second path leads vehicles to go up to the office and the second gallery.

• For the last street it leads the vehicles directly to the museum itself.

vehicles are provided (etc. for the bus, normal vehicles, motorbike and bicycle.

• There is a surau and a toilet provided beside the parking lot, therefore it allows the visitors to settle their needs only then continue with the visit.

people are not aware that some part can only pass through by walking. Visitors are not aware bout where to park too.

• Suggestions: Clearer road sign should be provided.

around the site. Even at the parking lots, the view around in the forest is also very pretty.

Threat• Visitors who are not sure about

where to park will go to the wrong way, and therefore traffic will be affected.
