As part of the reward and also activities to fill up the school holidays, we took the boy and kids next door to Pusat Sains Negara in Bukit Kiara. Truth be told, I never set foot in the centre even though it's right adjacent to SPRINT highway on the way to Sri Hartamas. I still remember when we were small when my dad took us to the Science Museum at UTM Jalan Semarak, with the highlight was a robot which greeted every visitor.
First impression of the Science Centre was not that impressive, ticket counter was placed at the entrance gate and not at the Centre itself, which cost me a 5 min walk back. The centre was a typically government ran agency, especially on the upkeep of the centre. A lot of the displays were not working, some were like stuck in a time warp since the opening days of the centre (1996) and contain outdated information. Compared to Petrosains, the Pusat Sains Negara felt like a good 5 yrs behind. Even though the entrance fees to Petrosains is higher, I think I enjoyed myself there than I did in Pusat Sains Negara. ( Hey, there's still a kid in me you know ). Maybe I'm looking at it from my point of view, as the kids said they did enjoyed themselves, but I think things could be better at Pusat Sains Negara.
Hopefully pepole at MOSTI could pick up on this, maybe a little perk up is due to the centre. Please don't let it go down the drain, as it ccould help nture an interest in science in the young ones.
