  1. Kuala Lumpur 4

  2. 4 Witha population of over 30 million, Malaysiais the world's 44th most populouscountry. Kuala Lumpur is the nationalcapital and largest city, the cultural, financial, and economic centre of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is also home to the Parliament of Malaysia, and the official residence of the Malaysian King, the Istana Negara. King's Palace is the official residence of His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia. It stands on a 28 acre (110,000 m²) site, located at a commanding position on the slope of a hill of Bukit Petaling overlooking the Klang River, along Jalan Syed Putra. The King’s Palace or Istana Negara was built in 1928 and was originally the residence of a Chinese millionaire. Surrounded by a beautiful park, green lawns and ponds the King´s Palace, Istana Negara, is the official residence of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, a Malay title usually translated as "Supreme Head”.

  3. You can watch the Palace from outside the main gate

  4. Outside the main gate the Royal Guards, dressed in white Malay as well as red British inspired uniforms, are guarding the main gate on horse and on foot

  5. The Kingdom of Malaysia consists of 9 sultanates (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor, Sembilan and Terengganu) and 4 non monarchic states (Malacca, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak)

  6. The “Yang Di-Pertuan Agong” or Paramount Ruler is elected among the sultans every five years, which means that there are 45 years until a sultan can be elected for the second time

  7. The king in Malaysia is the head of the state. Together with the Prime Minister, the King appoints the cabinet from among the members of Parliament, as well as the nominal head of the military and all three branches of government

  8. Kuala Lumpur National Mosque Malaysia (Masjid Negara) Built in 1965

  9. Islamic Arts Museum Built in 1965 by Architect: Howard Ashley, Hisham Albakri and Baharuddin Kassim, the National Mosque or Masjid Negara is one of the most unique mosques in the world

  10. Kuala Lumpur National Mosque Malaysia (Masjid Negara) Built in 1965

  11. National Mosque or Masjid Negara does not follow the conventional Middle Eastern mosque design of domes and arches

  12. The mosque has a large capacity of 15,000 people

  13. The best features of the mosque are the 73 meters high minarets and its 16 pointed star concrete which is its main roof. The main roof's design was inspired from the idea of an open umbrella while the minarets were like a folded umbrella.

  14. Tabernaemontana divaricata (Pinwheel Flower, Crape Jasmine, Nero's Crown)

  15. Thereis an underground passage that connects the National Mosque to the old railway station

  16. Railwaystation The seven-point, umbrella-shaped annexe, Makam Pahlawan (Heroes’ Mausoleum), towards the back of the mosque, contains the crypt of some political celebrities

  17. Kuala Lumpur Railway Station is an almost fairytale Moorish-style building to the southeast of the National Mosque. Located along Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin (previously known as Victory Avenue), it used to be KL’s main railway hub until 2001 when Kuala Lumpur Sentral took over much of its role

  18. Adopting a mixture of Eastern and Western styles, it was designed by A.B. Hubbock in 1910. Beneath the Islamic exterior, the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station resembles a typical glass and iron Victorian-era English railway building

  19. Opposite stands the Malaya Railway Administration Building, also designed by Hubbock in 1917

  20. Malaya Railway Administration Building

  21. Now its primary function is that of the administrative head office of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu. Built using convict labour, there is a hotel (the Heritage Station Hotel) on the first floor and inside is a restaurant plus several souvenir stalls

  22. KL Maybank - Nnumismatic museum KL Menara Telekom

  23. At the heart of Kuala Lumpur is an area which never sleeps, and far more colourful and bustling than its bigger and more glamourous neighbours, KLCC & Bukit Bintang. Chinatown, based in Petaling Street, is also known as 'Chee Cheong Kai' (Starch Factory Street), a reference to its roots as a tapioca-producing district

  24. Deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history, Chinatown is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia. Chinatown is also a well-known bargain hunter’s paradise, a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Chinese herbs to imitation goods.
