Bukit Puteri Flagpole

Bukit Puteri Flag Pole was erected on top of Bukit Puteri during the reign of Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Syah, on 22 April, 1899. It stands at a height of 18 meters above ground, with a 2-meter depth in the ground.

The present flag pole on Bukit Puteri replaces an earlier flag pole built by Sultan Zainal Abidin II. The ceremony to plant the flag pole was conducted in full custom accompanied by the blast of 16 cannon shots.

About this website

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.
