Seri Perdana, Putrajaya Overview

Seri Perdana, located in Presint 10, Malaysia is the official residence of the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

This lavishly built structure covers a huge area of around 42.5 acres with the architecture and layout being heavily influenced by the traditional Malay, Muslim and European styles. With multiple tours of the palatial residence conducted throughout the day and a special interactive session held once a day with the government officials at Seri Perdana, the visitors get a highly insightful view of the Malaysian society and their beliefs and practices.

The huge flower garden just behind Seri Perdana displays a huge variety of roses and hibiscuses. This leads us onto the mini children’s park where the kids can go and mingle around with the tiny, playful butterflies. Attached to the residential block is the Prime Minister’s office whose grandiose leaves the visitors filled with awe.
