Been here once. Every corner of the house is attached with simple reminiscense of his childhood and also packed with his writings as a journalist in straits time in singapore. The furnitures are classic.
The other buildings exhibit his past as a doctor in alor star and all the copied documentation in his carrier such as letterof his resignation, letter of placement as a doctor in general hospital etc.
Another building was built for his decorated career as a politician starting from a member in UMNO kedah until to the first day in office as a prime minister in 1981.
If you really a local historian enthusiast, then a visit is worthwhile. You wont regret it.
