The arch on the plate in the image is Malaysia’s biggest arch, Kota Darul Ehsan. The history of this arch dates to 1974, when the then-sultan of Selangor agreed to cede territory to form a new federal territory, which became Kuala Lumpur. To thank him, the Malaysian federal government constructed this arch on a federal route at the border between the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor. Kota Darul Ehsan is made from marble, and the design incorporates architectural elements of Sultan Abdul Samad Building (Government Offices) and Istana Negara. The arch is an important structure that bore witness to the political development of Malaysia’s federal government.
