We always post about new cars or modern cars which available around the world.But today, we would like to post about antique or classic car that available at the Muzium Negara or National Museum.The last time I went to the National Museum was 12 years ago.And recently I have a chance to visit to the National Museum with my family.
THE JOHOR HORSE CART
The horse cart was originally used by the Chinese community in the town of Maharani, Johor in the 1900s. Its owner and his family members used it primarily for their daily activities and recreation. The horse cart was eventually turned into a means of public transportation.A pony drew the cart and passengers were charged RM0.05 for every 1.6 km. The horse cart was finally withdrawn as it was deemed unsuitable and inefficient with the advent of modern public transportation.
