Putrajaya a tourist magnet
By JADE CHAN
KUALA LUMPUR: The administrative capital in Putrajaya is just as popular as Kuala Lumpur – the official capital – with both local and foreign tourists.
S. Satiya and his family, who were visiting Putrajaya for the first time, said they were there because of its significance as Malaysia’s administrative capital.
“We’ll be taking a drive around the city and parks. We also went to the Promenade and Souq and enjoyed the view of the lake,” said the 34-year-old boiler technician from Shah Alam.
Picturesque setting: Suraya taking a photo of her family against the backdrop of the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya.
Suraya Mohammad, 32, a technician from Kedah, who was taking a walk around Masjid Putra and Dataran Putra with her family, said it was their first time in Putrajaya.
“The buildings and scenery here are beautiful, but the public toilets aren’t well-maintained.”
Paul Vaz, 62, who was holidaying in Malaysia for the second time and had visited the KL Tower and KLCC, was in Putrajaya with his friend Larry Tan on the latter's recommendation.
“It’s a beautiful place. I enjoy seeing the Islamic architecture of the buildings, which is similar to the Moghul architecture in India,” said the chairman of a management institute in Mumbai.
Jerantut resident Zali Busu, 39, comes for short trips to Kuala Lumpur every year with his family and visits places which offer activities for his four children.
“We usually go to the National Zoo, National Museum, National Planetarium and Petrosains Gallery, and shops in Chow Kit and Petaling Street,” said the government servant.
“The children like coming to KL. Their favourite place is the KLCC Park as they like to swim in the pool and play in the park.”
Law Chee Seng, 29, prefers going to shopping malls and seeing sights within Kuala Lumpur as he works in the construction business and does not have much time to travel.
“Since my in-laws and their families are from Pantai Remis, I’ll be taking them to KLCC and the Eye on Malaysia at Lake Titiwangsa.”
Backpacker Daniela Kuhn, 29, planned to soak in the city atmosphere in Kuala Lumpur and enjoy the natural environment of Taman Negara.
She will be going to KLCC, Merdeka Square, Islamic Arts Museum, Bird Park, National Mosque, Little India and Chinatown.
“I like the warm weather here and it helps that the locals speak good English,” said the German native who has backpacked alone in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.

Putrajaya,gracious living for the raayat
I must say this ,Putrajaya is a real living comfort for the raayat. I think every states should follow this concept. Plan driven and very well administered. Of course there are slight problems every now and then but with every thing 'e' it is taken care quite fast. Everything is within reach and it makes it convenience for raayat Putrajaya. The bus is good,the school,supermarkets,hospitals,clinics,firebrigade and yes cinema at alamanda is really cool. The police are efficient, will arrive at your place within 5 minutes. Of course no where is safe nowadays but prevention here is practise by neighbours as there are no gates in the housing estate. Community halls almost at all precinct with class badminton courts(Proffessional coach available),swimming pools,beautiful horse riding clubs with nice restaurant, first class convention center, boulevard looks superb like the Manhattan in New York( we need to plant trees there as soon as possible). I hope it will turn to be into a great shopping center like Orchard road,Singapore and Oxford street in London. Cycling is great fun with family as you will find 3 metres footpath all over Putrajaya. Lake Club is ready at Precinct 8 and Precinct 6 with nice swimming pools,and you can learn sailing too. The Putra Mosque is must visit to all,really beautiful. Go down below the arcade you will find great food courts and nice view. Get on the cruise and experience the lake breeze that will take you to all the almost 35 small and big bridges design to capture your heart. Taman Warisan and Taman Botani is where you and family can learn all about trees anf herbs and enjoy all the food you can. Family day too can be held at the wetland in Putrajaya on a private island...barbecue..hem.
My sister in law came to visit us and said it is like coming into another country. Another says it is like London and another like Australia. The embassy enclave is almost ready at Precinct 15. In fact all architecture and designs are superb. Great superstructure and infrastructure.
