Istana Negara @ Kuala Lumpur


stating the obvious...

the description of "Raja Berperlembagaan" or Constitutional Monarchy. Yup not absolute monarchy.
the palace from the gate... and the King's crest (similat to the country's crest but with the paddy flower around it).

it is full of tourist hoping to peek into the King's home.. helloooo.. he is not there, he lives in a different palace you know!

KL was empty, well compared to the normal working days, and we took a drive around KL and stopped at the Istana Negara for some photo shoots a'la visiting Buckingham Palace... duhhhh

Unfortunately the mounted guard was not on show today. Whats left was the stench of the horses' dot.. dot.. dot


Istana Negara (Malay for National 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
