National Capital
The national capital of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur. It remains as the primary cultural, business and financial centre in Malaysia. The Parliament of Malaysia and the official residence of the King is also located in Kuala Lumpur. In 2001, the seat of government was moved from Kuala Lumpur to the planned city of Putrajaya which from then on served as the federal administrative centre or sometimes referred to as the administrative capital. Both these cities together with Labuan have special status as Federal Territories of Malaysia.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or capital:
“All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
“No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
