CHAPTER II
TASK TO BE PERFOMED
2.1 History of
Kuala Lumpur International Airport
The building of Kuala Lumpur Airport was controversial to say the least, since many considered that it was sited too far from Kuala Lumpur and that it would be possible to extend the already existing Sepang Airport. At first, The international airport of Kuala lumpur is a business center and has become the main airport
Kuala Lumpur Convention Center
The buildings are a landmark of Kuala Lumpur, along with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower. The Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world for six years from 1998 to 2004. 1997 Malaysia's symbols of unity and pride. The Petronas Twin Tower.
The engineers are satisfied with the plan they forged. Finally, they come with a solution. They decided to put elevator on the upper and lower deck at the same time to minimize the time taken for an elevator to travel throughout the tower. The engineers are baffled. They are curious on how to make elevator to move at such a high speed. The time taken for an elevator to move to the next floor is 70 second. The elevator mechanism must be advance in terms of technology. Before they proceed with the construction,elevator must be install in the twin tower so that people can access the floor in no time. Now, the Petronas Twin Tower stand as Malaysia's pride,victory and modernized country. The forth prime minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir Mohammad feel so proud and satisfied with the achievement that Malaysia has ever since the twin tower appear in this land. Finally after six years,The Petronas Twin Tower has reached the sky high.
Universiti Malaya
University of Malaya has its roots in Singapore with the establishment of King Edward VII College of Medicine in 1905. University Malaya was established in Singapore with the merger of the King Edward VII College of Medicine and Raffles College. The growth of the University was very rapid during the first decade of its foundation and this resulted in the setting up of two autonomous Divisions, one located in Singapore and the other in Kuala Lumpur. In 1960, the government of the two indicated that the two divisions of the University of Malaya should become autonomous separate national universities, one located in Singapore (later becoming the National University of Singapore) and the other in Kuala Lumpur (retaining the name University of Malaya). Legislation was passed in 1961 and the University of Malaya was established in 1962.
Istana Negara
Istana Negara was renovated and turned into the Sultan of Selangor's home and in 1957 the property was sold to the Federal Government. Officials then officially converted the building to be used as the residence of the newly-created sovereign post of Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaya. In 2013, two guards in Malay traditional attire would be stationed at the main gateway of the old Istana Negara to revive the nostalgia and tradition of the Malay Sultanate. Information, Communications and Culture Minister Rais said "the practice will help retain the old palace as a must-visit tourist destination" . Several rooms and halls at the old Istana Negara will be open to visitors to learn of their use to the previous thirteen Kings who lived in the palace. An inventory will be drawn up of the collections in the palace in the effort to conserve them.
