Perdana Putra

The planned city of Putrajaya, Malaysia’s federal administrative capital is situated at a distance of approximately 40 km south of Kuala Lumpur. This modern, planned city was conceived and constructed during the 1990s, and hosts many attractions like a 650 hectare man-made lake, the Putrajaya Mosque, eye-catching bridges and  lush, verdant gardens.
A prominent attraction of Putrajaya, is the government precinct, Perdana Putra situated atop the main hill in Putrajaya. This government complex which is adorned with a quincunx of onion-shaped domes is the office complex of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The complex, which is fronted by the large Perdana Square (Dataran Perdana), hosts the prime minister’s chambers and various other government offices and agencies.
The Perdana Putra spans six stories and is composed of a ‘Main Block’ and two adjacent East and West Wings. The various different sections of the complex display a mélange of Malay, Mughal and European architectural influences and make for an arresting sight. The central Main Block which hosts the Prime Minister’s office is crowned by a dome that is said to resemble the dome of the famous Zahur Mosuqe of Alor Setar in Kedah.
The West Wing of the complex plays host to various government offices belonging to the Deputy Prime Minister, Ministers and Deputy Ministers as well as Parliamentary Secretaries in the Prime Minister's Department. Prominent government agencies like the Malaysian Industries-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) and Advisory Board are also housed in this West Wing while the East Wing is home offices of the Chief Secretary to the Government, Cabinet Divisions and the Implementation and Coordination Unit (ICU).
The Prime Minister customarily welcomes fellow heads of state and heads of government, in the large open Dataran Perdana, which is also used for events like Malaysian Independence Day Parade. This welcoming ceremony features much pomp and ceremony including an inspection of the Guard of Honour.
The Prime Minister hosts his meetings at the Perdana Meeting Room, a space which can accommodate seventy people at a time.  Cabinet meetings are held every week at the Cabinet Meeting Room, while foreign dignitaries and guests are introduced to cabinet ministers and government and public officials in the Laman Perdana.
The Perdana Putra complex is open for viewings by the general public every day from Monday to Friday from 8.00 am - 12.30 pm, and 2.00 pm - 4.30 pm. The complex is closed on weekends and on public holidays.
