Putrajaya project launched by Dr Mahathir

On 29 August 1995, Putrajaya, the Federal Government's new administrative centre, would, with Kuala Lumpur and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, become a megacity, Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad said at the launch of the RM20-billion project about 25KM from Kuala Lumpur. The merger of the three areas, similar to that of Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam, would bring immense benefits, the Prime Minister said.
