KUALA LUMPUR

Kuala Lumpur , or simply KL, is the capital of Malaysia. Literally meaning "muddy estuary" in Malay, Kuala Lumpur has grown from a small sleepy Chinese tin-mining village to a bustling metropolis of around 6.5 million (city-proper population of 1.8 million) in just 150 years.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is one of Asia's major aviation hubs and is a destination in itself. It is located at the top of the southern corridor of Peninsular Malaysia, bordering the states of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. It is situated in the Sepang district, approximately 50 km from the capital city, Kuala Lumpur.The Main Terminal Building area was designed using the concept of 'Airport in the forest, forest in the airport', in which it is surrounded by green space. This was done with the co-operation of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia. An entire section of rain forest was transplanted from the jungle and placed in the Satellite Building.

Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

It was opened to the public in 1886, rebuilt in 1910 and electrified in 1995. Of course it looks a lot different from what it was in the beginning, because it served only four lines with three platforms at first, now having a real web of lines in all directions. It added some wings in time and combines in a very successful manner the Western with the Oriental architectural style.The building is characterized by the large towers built in a Malayan traditional way , having the facade of the station completely plastered and the platforms covered with glass shelters supported by steel frames. If you visit this station you will feel like the past and the present have met there and also the West and the East.

These geometric figures have been described by architects as symbolising unity, harmony, stability and rationality - all important principles of Islam.
