Standing tall as a shining legacy of the nation’s Father of Independence, the Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Memorial is an important repository of his life in the headlines as well as away from the limelight.

The venue was originally the home of the Tunku between 1956 and 1970 when he was serving as the Chief Minister of the Federation of Malaya, and subsequently as the first Prime Minister of Malaysia.
