 sultan abdul samad building by dragontml
The stately historic building rich in character was designed by AC Norman and built between 1894 and1897 to house the British administration. Formerly the Secretariat building this Moorish inspired building with its shining copper domes and high clock tower is a major landmark in the city. The Supreme Court and the Textile Museum now occupy the building. Leave a Comment

 Sultan Abdul Samad Building by mansionion
Designed by British architect A.C Norman, it was built in 1897 with a unique Moorish-style design. The Moorish inspired design of the building is based on some of the features of buildings in Islamic countries that suitably reflects the cultural background of Malaysia. It used to be the Colonial Secretariat offices, but now houses the Supreme and High Courts.
The centre of attraction is it's clock tower in the midle - KL's answer to London's 'Big Ben'. The clock tower is significant to many major events; from the lowering of the Union Jack at the strock of midnite when Malaysia (then Malaya) gained independance to the numorous new year eve celebrations.
Another must visit in KL. Leave a Comment

A very nice place to visit expecially the night scene here. The road is closed everynight here for tourists. The scene is nice when all the lights lid up at night. Leave a Comment

 Perfect beauty with an English
feature. by Kakapo2
The Sultan Abdul Samad Building, started in 1898, was the Brit’s administration centre. Then it became the site of the Supreme Court.
The style is a blend of north Indian aus Moorish architecture. The architects (A.C. Norman and A.B. Hubbock) thought this was appropriate for a mainly Muslim state. However, they totally ignored that the Malay people had already developed their own architectural style.
The 40 metre high clock tower is called Malaysia’s Big Ben. It is crowned by a golden dome, as are two other lower towers of the building.
A word about the Padang: It is not the size of the English lawn that makes it look strange within this city of golden towers and mosques. It is more the Tudor style of the comparably tiny buildings, sitting in front of skyscrapers. They remind me of Rotorua ;-)
