The Dayabumi Complex was built on land that was previously the site of the Malayan Railway workshops and depots from 1900s until 1981. Construction began on January 1982 and completed on February 1984. The Dayabumi Complex is owned by the Urban Development Authority of Malaysia (UDA).
The Dayabumi Complex is one of the first buildings to boast a Malaysian style architecture. The 35-storey Dayabumi is 157 meters high. At the time of its completion, it was regarded as the most expensive building ever built in Malaysia. The gleaming white structure incorporates Arabic elements into the modern high-rise architecture, helping it to blend with the surrounding Moorish and Byzantine architecture. Dayabumi Complex houses government offices, a shopping arcade and has an annex that houses the General Post Office.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
