Planetarium Sultan Iskandar
Planetarium Sultan Iskandar, Sarawak, Malaysia, a brainchild of Sarawak's Chief Minister was declared officially opened in 19 January 1989 and it is the first planetarium in Malaysia. Just like any other planetarium in the world, the planetarium offers combination of audio, graphic, video and awry experience in space. It houses the M1015 [Carl Zeiss] which capable to simulate the night sky with up to 6,000 fixed stars.

Since it was first established, the planetarium was under the care of four curators. The first curator was a German Curator, Adolph Kunert. Although he was the first curator of the Planetarium Sultan Iskandar(PSI) but due to the communication problem, the first planetarium show was directed by Dr. Mazlan Othman, now a Director General of National Space Agency of Malaysia.

Planetarium Sultan Iskandar's Curator

Adolph Kunert

Zalia Morshidi

Ismandy Ali

Its golden age was when the Zalia Morshidi was appointed as the second curator. Under her management, the planetarium activities were penetrated deep into the heart of the people of Sarawak and remains one of the symbol of the state of Sarawak for many years until 1994 when Zalia Morshidi left. The influence of the institution was tested when Federal Government of Malaysia has proposed a science centre built in State Civic Centre where the planetarium building situated. The proposal was rejected by the state government due to unknown political reasons.

Although the planetarium was opened in 1989, it was neglected due to the lack of proper management by the government of Sarawak for 14 years. Not until the newly appointed curator Ismandy Ali was put into the institution by middle of 2006, numerous activities were held for the public.
