Putra World Trade Centre (27 June, 2009)


Putra World Trade Centre (GPS: 3.16859, 101.69161) is a convention and exhibition centre in Kuala Lumpur. Completed in 1985, it comprises a podium and the 40-storey Menara Dato Onn, which is usually referred to as Menara UMNO, as it is the head office of the United Malay National Organisation. The complex is located along Jalan Tun Ismail, near the confluence of Sungai Batu with Sungai Gombak.

Putra World Trade Centre offers 240,000 square meters of exhibition space, three large banquet halls and 17 meeting rooms, so it is ideal for conventions of all sizes. To provide for more exhibition space, an annex was built across Sungai Batu, accessed via Jalan Rahmat.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
