Tropical Garden City of Lights – Kuala Lumpur
The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, lies midway along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur represents the heartbeat of Malaysia, serving as its cultural, commercial and transportation centre.
Better known as KL to the locals, the city is a heady mix of history and culture intertwined with mushrooming skyscrapers and office towers. Kuala Lumpur is the best example of a city that has managed to preserve the best of its cultural heritage, city landscape and environment with modern conveniences to offer a wholly unique experience to visitors.
With a population of over 1.3 million, Kuala Lumpur is by far the largest city in Malaysia. Malays, Chinese and Indians comprise the main races among others in this multicultural backdrop. This ethnic diversity has shaped the city over the years and is clearly seen in the various cultural customs and religious beliefs, as well as languages, cuisines and architecture.

Garden City, Intelligent City - Putrajaya
Putrajaya, just outside the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, (bordering on Malaysia's Silicon Valley of Cyberjaya) is designed as an intelligent, Cyber-city and is the new federal government administrative centre.
Designed as a model city, it is a thoroughly modern township displaying the best of Malaysian design and architecture in an environmentally-friendly setting of beautifully landscaped lakes and parks.
Putrajaya encompasses the dual concept of intelligent city and garden city. In keeping with this, 38% of the land area is devoted to parks, lakes and wetlands. The latter provides interesting getaways for visitors and an opportunity to learn about the country's diversified tropical flora and fauna.
The urban areas in Putrajaya City are divided into precincts and are devoted to government offices, commercial, residential and recreational facilities. The buildings in the government precinct feature smart building concepts with computerised utilities and amenities.
