He the head of state in our constitutional monarchy system in Malaysia. Unlike other monarchs in the world, Malaysia's King is appointed for a period of 5-year reign. The appointment is via election from a Conference of Rulers (9 rulers). Thus every 5 years, Malaysia has a new King.

The Central Market was built in 1888 by the British Colonial Government to be used as a wet market for Kuala Lumpur's early citizens. It was here that the tin-miners bought their fresh produce and other food ingredients to feed their mine workers. It is located beside the Klang River as road communications were insufficient and the river was used as a main transport channel.

By 1933, further expansions were made to the market to include warehouses. As KL experienced rapid development in the 1970s, plans were made by the authorities  to demolish the site in order to make way for the Dayabumi Complex. However, there was much objection to this move to eradicate the Market and intervention by the Malaysian Heritage Society proved timely as they successfully petitioned against the destruction of the building and the site was declared as a "Heritage Site".

This wet market was very convenient to the early city dwellers because it was within the vicinity of the Klang Bus Station, a feeder bus service for KL and PJ as well as Klang. The KL Railway Station was also within walking distance. There was always the presence of fishy smells in both the buses and trains as commuters took home their provisions.

In 1985, the Central Market was renovated and renamed Pasar Seni. It ceased being a wet market and was transformed into a indoor bazaar with more than a hundred small shops, hawker centre, restaurant, fast-food outlet, selling all kinds of souvenirs and crafts, batiks etcetera. 

The Annexe building at the back of the main building houses art galleries, theatre and performing arts centre beside housing many arts & crafts shops. It is one of the major art spaces in KL and is a hotspot for creative arts activities all year round. 

The walking mall, also known as Kasturi Walk is an open-air bazaar which also sells many souvenirs besides housing street musicians and buskers.

Located in the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is only 10 minutes drive away from the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. It is the home to more than 3,000 birds of approximately 200 species of local and foreign birds.

Sprawling approximately 20.9 acres of verdant valley terrain, the park is divided into 4 zones; Zone 1 and 2 make up the free-flight zone; Zone 3 is the Hornbill Park and Zone 4 is where the birds are placed in separate cages and mini aviaries.

One of KL Bird Park's most extraordinary feature is that in Zone 1, 2 and 3, birds are let free in the aviary which closely resembles their natural habitat. With this free-flight concept, birds are able to breed naturally in this unique environment.

Visitors will have an exciting experience of watching colourful and melodic birds perching and winging about freely while relaxing in a natural and beautifully landscaped surrounding. KL Bird Park is also reputed to be the largest walk-in free-flight aviary in the world.
