Malaysian Parliament

Malaysian Parliament is a legal body of a national Malaysia. It is a Westminster based legislative body adopted by Malaysia after achieving independence from Britain in 1957.

According to the Parliament's official website, the Parliament complex was envisioned by Malaya's first chief Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj and the nation was then known as the Federation of Malaya.

The building symbolise Malaysia as a democratic nation. This building structure is very unique! The entire building is covered by heat and light-absorbing glass. The amount of sunlight entering the building is controlled by enveloping the building with carved ornamental patterns or 'kerawang' made from local concrete which had been installed piece by piece. The beehive-shaped 'kerawang' is what gives the building its unique look! -Bernama


The High Dynamic Range this time, is very lucky to have an unforgettable shots of Malaysian Parliament's building!
Enjoy!
