LANGKAWI, Friday 31 December 2010 (Bernama) -- The National Museum will feature the success of the national football squad in lifting the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, said its director-general, Datuk Ibrahim Ismail.

He said the exhibition would be in recognition of the squad's efforts in relieving the national football glory after 14 years.

"The material, including pictures and videos on the run up to the final, will be displayed in three weeks' time to enable fans to relish the moments.

"The national team deserves the recognition and we hope this effort will help spur the sports industry," he told reporters at Galeria Perdana in conjunction with the Jom Santai programme with the media and tour and travel operators here today.

The national team won the coveted regional trophy on a 4-2 aggregate.

Among products on display at the Jom Santai programme organised by the National Museums Department were Ashura porridge, Karas cakes, loyang, paintings and handicraft.
