Then we stopped at Istana Negara or National Palace, the official residence of the King and Queen of Malaysia. It stands on a 28 acre site, located at a commanding position on the slope of a hill of Bukit Petaling overlooking the Klang River. The palace courtyard is enhanced by immaculate green lawns and luscious colorful gardens, surrounded by a wide black/gold colored fence and dazzlingly beautiful entrance gate.
