History
Construction began in 1997 and was completed in early 1999. The building was first occupied in April 1999 after all sections of the Prime Minister's Department moved from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya. The former building of the prime minister's office was in Jalan Dato Onn, Kuala Lumpur, where it was transformed into a museum today. The museum is named Memorial Negarawan, commemorating the independence of Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak.[1]
