TRAVEL | Putrajaya

On our way to Phnom Penh this year, we'll be making a brief layover at Kuala Lumpur for about 8 hours. I think it may be a bit rushed to commute all the way into the KL city centre with 2 hours + travel time depending on the traffic, so I think it might be better to spend our time at Putrajaya, a planned city that serves as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia, about 30 minutes from LCCT where we'll be landing.

Planned as the garden and intelligent city, 38% of the area is reserved for green areas by emphasizing the enhancement of natural landscape.

This area seems to be the centre of a construction boom, with a lot of new buildings planned or under construction. Can't wait to see this city in person! Look at this artist's render of the waterfront project planned for Putrajaya!
