Putrajaya

Putrajaya (Malay pronunciation: [ˌputraˈd͡ʒaja, ˌputrəˈd͡ʒajə] ), officially the Federal Territory of Putrajaya (Malay: Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya), is the administrative centre of Malaysia. The seat of the federal government of Malaysia was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya because of overcrowding and congestion in the capital, followed by the seat of the national judiciary in 2003. Kuala Lumpur remains Malaysia's national capital city per the federal constitution and continues to serve as the seat of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Parliament of Malaysia, as well as the nation's premier commercial and financial hub.
