About the memorial
The memorial was the official resident of Tun Razak, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia. You can see the humble living of the great man, who had put in so much efforts in developing the country. The next Prime Minister after him was also stayed at the same house.

However the subsequent Prime Minister built a grand Palace in Putra Jaya, a vast different from the house of Tun Razak.

When he passed away the house was change to become a museum or memorial.

There are some errors in the comments:
1. He was born in Kampong Keladi in Pekan Pahang, not Raub
2. His school was at Kampong Benta Langgar, not Batu Langgar.
( I know because I am local the village is familiar to me)

The memorial tun Razak stands proud as a reminder of the great Prime Minister.
