Perdana Putra
office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia
The Perdana Putra (Jawi: ڤردان ڤوترا) is a building in Putrajaya, Malaysia which houses the office complex of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Located on the main hill in Putrajaya, it has become synonymous with the executive branch of the Malaysian federal government.
History
Construction began in 1997 and was completed in early 1999. The building was first occupied in April 1999 after all sections of the Prime Minister's Department moved from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya. The former building of the prime minister's office was in Jalan Dato Onn, Kuala Lumpur, where it was transformed into a museum today. The museum is named Memorial Negarawan, commemorating the independence of Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak.
Architecture
The structural design is influenced by Malay, Islamic and European cultures as such Palladian and Neoclassicism. It was designed by an aQidea Architect (Ahmad Rozi Abd Wahab being the principal architect) with inspiration from the 4th, 7th and former Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad.
The column evokes Mogul design and the sphere was a replica of Zahir Mosque dome at Alor Setar.
Interior of the building
These are the main rooms and halls in the interior layout of Perdana Putra.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Perdana Putra” is office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Perdana, Putra and office, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4925369. The Library of Congress control number is sh2005006728. Authority coordinates are 2.938, 101.692. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 1999.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
