Sights in Putrajaya Precinct 3

Dataran Putrajaya
The Dataran Putrajaya is flanked by the Putrajaya Holdings Complex and the Palace of Justice.

Putrajaya Holdings Complex (Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya)
I cannot pin down which futuristic building the Putrajaya Holdings Complex is supposed to resemble - perhaps I should just give them credit for being totally original here. Anyway, the Putrajaya Holdings Complex is supposed to be a contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic architecture. The main feature of this building is the Gateway or Gerbang with a public viewing deck on the top most level providing a panoramic view of the city skyline that includes the Palace of Justice and the Grand Mosque. The gateway will also provide a vantage point during parades.

Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Bahagian Hal Ehwal Undang Undang
I had earlier mistaken this for a mosque, but was advised by someone at Perbadanan Putrajaya that this is part of the Jabatan Perdana Menteri.

Palace of Justice (Kompleks Kehakiman dan Mahkamah)
And then we come to another tropical Taj Mahal. The Palace of Justice is an elegant edifice that houses the judicial department in a five-storey administration building, and the courts in a two-storey annexed building. In total, the Palace of Justice occupies about 71,913 square meters of gross floor area. The internal spaces houses six Courts of Appeals and two Federal Courts and 20 Judges' Chambers. Space is also provided for a Banquet Hall, Judges' Conference Hall, Library, Museum, and Cafeteria. Don't get me wrong, I like this building, I think it is beautiful, but I've seen the Taj Mahal and the Palace of Justice looks like a plastic replica in comparison.

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.
