"The Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Memorial represents a lasting symbol of the nation's gratitude to a great leader and statesman, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, who freed the nation from the yoke of colonial domination."
The Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Memorial comprises of the Residency, which was the official residence of the late Tunku during his term of office as the first Chief Minister of Malaya as well as the first Prime Minister, and two additional blocks adjacent to both sides of the Residency.
One of the two new blocks houses a rebuilt version of the great leader's former office, while the other one contains memorabilia and artefacts depicting his life and activities.
Visitors and researchers have the benefit of not only viewing the materials on display, but also conduct research about the life and times of Malaysia's premier statesman.
