Ever wonder what it’s like to live in a Malaysian palace? The former Istana Negara on Jalan Istana, Kuala Lumpur, is the best place to find out. (The new national palace is on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim.)
Today the former official residence of Malaysia’s monarch and head of state, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, is open to the public for a fee of RM5 (and RM10 for non-Malaysians). Inside the sprawling two-storey building, visitors will get a sense of the private lives of the King and Queen.
