B. Melayu

Perdana Botanical Gardens (GPS: 3.1446, 101.68347) is a large public park in Kuala Lumpur. Originally called the Lake Gardens, it was renamed by the Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak on 28 June, 2011, in an effort to turn the Lake Gardens into a botanical garden. Managed by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur), the gardens cover 226 acres (91.6 hectares) and is within the 170-acre Tun Abdul Razak Heritage Park.

Originally, the Perdana Botanical Gardens were created as a recreational park. Later on, trees were added and its role evolved into that of a botanical garden. Within the Perdana Botanical Gardens, visitors can enjoy the feeling of being in a tropical rainforest, even though they are in the midst of the city.

Roads in Perdana Botanical Gardens

The Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens date back to 1888, when the British State Treasurer of Selangor Alfred Venning proposed the setting up of a botanical garden in the area drained by Sungei Bras Bras. The then British Resident Frank Swettenham agreed to the proposal, and set aside funds for its creation.

The purpose of the garden, as proposed by Venning, reflects that of the Singapore Botanical Gardens and Penang Botanical Gardens, which is both a recreational park as well as a place to carry out botanic experiments with attached economic values.

On 13 May, 1889, the gardens - originally called the Public Gardens, and only later on renamed Lake Gardens - was opened by the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Cecil Clementi Smith. Within the grounds is the official residence of the British Resident, now known as Carcosa Seri Negara. A year after its opening, Venning added a social club, the Europeans-only Lake Club, to the gardens.

Over the years, new sights were added to Lake Gardens. This includes the Malaysian Parliament Building, which was built in 1963.

My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
