Putrajaya sits on a magnificent 4,931 hectares spread. Its Masterplan is designed along an axial tangent which runs from the northeast to southeast taking full advantage of the natural surroundings. Its undulating terrain treats visitors and residents to commanding vistas of the environment. About 40% of Putrajaya is natural. Lush greenery, botanical gardens are spread across the landscape enhanced by large bodies of water and wetlands.

Putrajaya, a planned city located just south of Kuala Lumpur, is the new federal administrative centre of Malaysia. Several Government offices have re-located there to gain relief from the overcrowding and congestion of Kuala Lumpur, which is Malaysia's largest city. However, Kuala Lumpur still serves as Malaysia's national and legislative capital for now. Putrajaya is a Federal Territory just like the city of Kuala Lumpur and the island of Labuan.

The city is named after the first Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra. In Bahasa Melayu, the Sanskrit-derived words "Putra" means prince while "Jaya" means excellent or success.

Almost all ministries in Putrajaya by 2010

PUTRAJAYA: All ministries, with the exception of International Trade and Industry, Works and Defence, are expected to move to the federal administrative capital here by 2010.

Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Samsudin Osman said construction of buildings to house several ministries were already going on while some were in planning stages.

He said that Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage as well as Tourism ministries were among those which would be moving here in the near future.

“The three ministries have decided not to move as they consider their location as strategic. They will continue to remain at their present location while other ministries operating in Kuala Lumpur are making plans to move to Putrajaya in the next two years or so,” he told reporters on Monday.

Samsudin said there would be more commercial buildings in the federal administrative capital to meet demands for such outlets, adding that currently the only commercial buildings were Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd (PjH) and the soon-to-be opened 26 Boulevard at Precinct 3.
