cari la maklumat pasal fungsi setiap blok bangunan Istana ni .
bukan buat andaian sendiri dan main hentam jew.kalau org tuduh kita bukan2 pun kita marah jugak.

do homework sikit.aku pun nak tahu juga.kalau dah tahu baru lah aku leh decide nak protes ke tak projek ni.

New palace ready soon

CYBERJAYA: The construction of the RM800mil new Istana Negara complex will be completed by the end of August without additional cost, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Shaziman Abu Mansor.

He said the structure was complete but it was two months behind schedule as there was some interior design work that needed to be done according to royal specifications.

“We are in the final stages. The only thing left is the interior design. The Rulers have asked for more time on the interior design,” he said yesterday after visiting the Global Prefab System Sdn Bhd precast factory.

Shaziman, however, stressed that the cost of the new palace, which would span a 100,000sqm area, would remain the same despite the delay. He added that the road links leading to the palace would be completed on schedule without additional cost.

Last October, Shaziman told Parliament the Istana Negara complex would cost RM797mil.

It would comprise the palace building, mini army camp, parking area, security office and housing for the palace staff and police.

The cost for the elevated access flyover from Jalan Duta was tagged at RM106mil with another RM32.5mil allocated to upgrade Jalan Changkat Semantan, the second access road to the palace.

On the construction industry, Shaziman said the ministry expected it to grow between 3.5% and 4% from this year until 2015.

He urged Class F and Class E contractors to take part in the industrialised building system (IBS)-based industry as it was the best method in the construction industry and was no longer very costly.

“It is also the best system to use to build houses for the Government’s My First Home scheme at competitive prices,” he said.

wonder if i complain that the dome look like Buddhism open lotus thinggy,will the gomen go and change those not so nice looking dome

LeeighIam · June 16th, 2011, 05:59 PM

quite nice but lack 'details' in my opinion. little more cosmetic enhancements would make it stand out better than other 'similar' looking buildings in and around KL ... and Putrajaya.

***TYW*** · June 17th, 2011, 08:58 AM

to me, it looks like a very large multi-purpose hall

dengilo · June 17th, 2011, 09:14 AM

Thats what went thru my mind when i look at it,May be more than one.All has different purpose like state dinner,coronation ohh never mind the list can go on and on for JKR to justify the cost!

Syeikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is 1000 times better than this. they should fired the architect. the design look so plain.

acela · June 24th, 2011, 04:42 PM

Haha it's not even closer than Buckingham palace! The design is not unique unfortunately didn't know who gave the green light to build this "marvelous" palace. I don't know how the tourist guide will tell to the tourist about its uniqueness or specialty; so plain. Not something to be proud of. If you want to "waste" the money i think you should look how the Saudis whack their efforts and money at the 2 holy mosques. Now that is something not even anyone will dare challenge the capacity or beauty of these mosques not even the Abu Dhabi's grand mosque got to that standard.

D_Y2k.2^ · June 24th, 2011, 07:39 PM

It is large and nothing more

World 2 World · June 25th, 2011, 04:24 AM

dude, the mosques in Saudi are important for Islam. we're talking about 2-3 millions people praying at the same site.

they're not whacking the money but spending for expansion. the major cost is land at US$500k per sqft (yes bloody expansive).

the size & capacity is just too stupid for other countries to follow because Makkah & Madinah are holy land but not Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi's Syeikh Zayed mosque is even smaller than the largest mosque in Pakistan.

anyway, Syeikh Zayed Mosque is my favourite for Friday prayers. they got army controlling the whole mosque 24 hours because the late 'Our Father' Syeikh Zayed was buried right next to the main prayer hall. if u walk into it, the main prayer hall is the most exclusive & luxurious area i have ever been.
