Masjid Marzukiah, Batu 4 Sepintas Sabak Bernam - A Different Minaret

A minaret is a slim tower rising from a mosque. They vary in height, style, and number. Minarets may be square, round, or octagonal and are usually covered with a pointed roof. Originally used as a high point from which to make the call to prayer (adhan), minarets remain a traditionally decorative feature of most mosques.

KTM Headquarters

This lesser known but equally majestic heritage building is currently occupied by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTM) headquarters. This building is said to be the last of many Mughal-style buildings erected in Kuala Lumpur. Located along Jalan Hishamuddin, it blends in nicely with the appearance of its more famous counterpart, the Old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station across the road.
