Recently KK at the highlight again when a "special" inccident on Feb 6 2009.KK is the place where the FIRST rubber trees are planted & the OLDEST Rubber Trees is still alive on the ground just outside the gates of the museum.
Early 1900's, this tree makes a significant changes to the course of Malaysia's economy!

Soon jungles were converted into plantations, and many areas that were once virgin forests were open for commercial use.
