Putrajaya Garden City



Despite having visited the federal administrative centre of Malaysia for many times, I never stop feeling amaze with the architecture and beauty of buildings and landscapes in Putrajaya.

Last week I spent a few hours in Putrajaya giving a short tour of the planned city to my kakak-kakak and abang from Indonesia who has been part of my family for the last couple of years. They never been to Putrajaya and after few times of rescheduling, I finally fulfilled my promise to bring them around. 

We started at the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque or better known as Masjid Besi or Steel Mosque. 
 
 

Interesting facts: built from 6, 000 tones of steel. Environmental friendly design, and does not require fans or air-conditioners. Cost – RM 200 million.

 

Very nice design.

 

 

Very calming feeling

 


Not many mosques have this view!

 

 

Putrajaya is a beautiful place for walking and street photo shooting, unfortunately the weather was too hot on that day and I decided to do street shooting on some other days, hence the shoot-while-driving tour action. 

 

 

Perdana Putra, PM’s office.
