Sights in Putrajaya Precinct 2

The Boulevard
The Putrajaya Boulevard is one of the most distinctive feature of the city. It is 100m wide and 4km long. Along the way it is embellished by four squares namely Dataran Wawasan, Dataran Rakyat, Dataran Putrajaya and Dataran Gemilang. As in elsewhere in Putrajaya, the Boulevard is lit with special ornamental lighting.

The Ministry of Finance (Kementerian Kewangan)
The Ministry of Finance is housed in a building with a "seventies-ish style" on the north side of the core island, in Precinct 2, fronting the Boulevard and Dataran Wawasan, and set against Taman Wawasan. This imposing building with a crescent-shaped façade forms a landmark that is visible from the Putra Bridge.

Menara Putrajaya
Itself a rather unimpressive 9-storey building, the Menara Putrajaya is strategically located adjacent to the famous Putrajaya Lake. This building is owned by Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd, the lead developer for Putrajaya which was incorporated on 19 October 1995.

Seri Bistari Bridge
Linking Wisma Putra in Precinct 2 with Precinct 16 is the 152.6m Seri Bistari Bridge. It is a continuous structure with the piers supported to the pilecaps.

Seri Wawasan Bridge
Another beautiful bridge of Putrajaya. This one links Precinct 2 to Precinct 8.

Next we come to four similar buildings clustered together. Their shape resembles the ancient pyramids from Mesoamerica, like those of the Maya and Aztecs. They care located on both sides of the Boulevard, on Lots 2G3, 2G4, 2G5 and 2G6 respectively. The following ministries are housed in them.

Precinct 2 Lot 2G3: Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri Dan Hal Ehwal)
The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry at Lot 2G3will move here from its present premises at Dayabumi Complex. The 14-storey building with an eight-storey podium occupies a 1.5 hectare piece of land.

Precinct 2 Lot 2G4: Ministry of Primary Industries & Commodities and Immigration Department (Kementerian Perusahaan Perladangan dan Komuditi & Jabatan Imigresen)
The Ministry of Primary Industries occupies the western portion of the building while the Immigration Department occupies the eastern portion.

Precinct 2 Lot 2G5: National Registrar (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara)
The National Registrar is housed in a 13-storey block in Lot 2G5. As part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Registrar is the department that registers everything from births, marriage, divorces, death and the issuer of the National Identity Cards.

Precinct 2 Lot 2G6: Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development (Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi)
This is the ministry entrusted as the lead agency in developing Bumiputera entrepreneurs. It is one of the four buildings massed together on both sides of the Boulevard.

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.
