总理班公署 ...

I was told this is the Prime Minsiter Office by some security personal on the ground where I was taking this photo. It probably is as if I am not mistaken; the location of this building is strategically at the highest point in this area compared to the other buildings surrounding it as well as further down in the next precints. It is also next to the biggest mosque in Putrajaya.

The building location is at Precint 1 in Putrajaya.

I have seen the building for over 20 years in KL and have never took a picture of it until today. I think it was one of the earliest skyscrapers in the KL city (1984) with modern Islamic Architectural Style.

...... It's my first visit and nature shot with the D90. Obviously if taken with A slower shutter speed and a tripod, it could be better. There are a lot more to explore inside the forest reserve and worth a trip as it is just minutes away from KL.
