New-look Perdana Botanical Gardens has facilities for the disabled too

SINCE its humble beginnings, the Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana) which has now been renamed Perdana Botanical Gardens (Taman Botani Perdana) by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is set to be a prime tourist spot in Malaysia’s capital city.

Located right in the heart of the city, the 122-year-old garden underwent the first phase of upgrading in March 2010 featuring a complete makeover of a park that beckons with luxurious greenery, new features and facilities that even cater to the less fortunate people — like the blind and handicapped.
