GIFT SHOP News: Discount on BWM Publications Badan Warisan Malaysia is offering a special discount on its publications to members and students.

The Old Survey Department

Built in 1910 to house the Federated Malay States (FMS) Survey Department, the building's dramatic 121.9m (400 ft) arcade is punctuated by two entrances, each with a twin chatri on top. Domed, octagonal towers flank both ends of the long, narrow building, accentuating the corners. Note the distinctive cinque-foil shaped arches that create a powerful geometric rhythm. Today the building belongs to the judiciary and houses the Sessions and Magistrates Courts. However, it is still popularly known as The Old Survey Department building.
