Putrajaya is the new Administrative Centre of the Federal Government of Malaysia taking the capital city away from Kuala Lumpur , leaving Kuala Lumpur as the country's financial and commercial capital. Moving the national administrative machinery from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya is in line with the Government's policy to provide a more balanced development away from Kuala Lumpur. It is a decision motivated by life in Kuala Lumpur and ensure continued growth in the Klang Valley.

The name Putrajaya is made of up of two words :

Putra - taken from the name of Malaysia’s first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj.
Jaya – meaning victory or success in Malay. Many newly developed townships in Malaysia bear this additional “Jaya”.

It’s worth mentioning that both words “putra” and “jaya” are essentially Sanskrit in nature.

PutrayJaya is Sakskrit word. Putra means son and Jaya means place so it means the place of the son.

The complete chinese name for Putrajaya is 布特拉再也。But in short, most people here call it 布城。
