Sultan Abdul Samad Building



Sultan Abdul Samad Building:

Originally the offices of the Colonial Secretariat, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building later served as the first administrative center of the Malaysian government. Built in 1848 by British architects, this historical landmark is famed for its Islamic-inspired architecture. Today, it houses the Courts of Law. The 120-foot high clock tower is a popular gathering point for New Year's and National Day countdown celebrations and parades.
