Natural Beauty

Putrajaya, Malaysia. A house beside a lake with a lot of green – my ideal home. I’m amazed at what human could create.

Man-made

Putrajaya, Malaysia. The city is surrounded by green parks such as this one. A huge lake was next to these plants – all man-made. If human could come up with such beauty, I wonder how beautiful would be Paradise!

Dream City

Putrajaya, Malaysia. A large portion of Putrajaya is designated as green area. This shot was taken from top of an observation tower nearby the city. The city must be a dream come true for Dr. Mahaathir Muhammad. What would be his dreams for the Hearafter?

Artificial

Putrajaya, Malaysia. Another picture from my trip to Putrajaya, the new capital of Malaysia. In spite of Putrajaya being green and rich in infrastructure, the roads seems to be abandoned.

End times

Putrajaya Mosque, Malaysia. I want all of you to see the inside of this grand mosque. Yes, it’s as beautiful as it sees. It’s attractive, eye catching – and also it's extremly difficult to perform prayer in front of the fanfare!

Waste

Minaret of Putrajaya Mosque, Malaysia. These tall towers had a use during its early history. A person climbs to the top of these structures five times daily to call Muslims to gather for prayer. Today, it's just an adornment - a waste - money which could be spent on a child's education.

Disunity

A huge roundabout in front of Putrajaya Mosque, Malaysia, decorated with flags from different federal territories.

Hadith recorded in Mishkat al-Masabith, the Messenger of Allah (salallahu alaihi wasalam) said, "He who calls for `Asabiyyah (nationalism/tribalism) is as if he bit his father's genitals"

The Gallery

Putrajaya mosque, Malaysia. It’s a grand mosque, decorated from the floors to the ceiling. It’s more of a gallery than a praying place. People of all religion roam around in the courtyard throughout the day while only few are there to pray during the prayer times. Sad.

Worldly Kings

Prime Minister’s office sitting on the banks of Putrajaya’s man-made lake. Wouldn’t it be a killer view from the building? I’m sure Xaeem would want one built exactly like this, but on top of what?

Eye-catching

More bridges! This is another bridge running across the same man-made lake (my previous post) in Putrajaya. A large potion of the city is designated as green area with a huge wetland area. Anyway, the colors are eye-catching!

Putrajaya

Putrajaya – the new capital of Malaysia. Maybe you’ve not heard, but it’s a city built from scratch during the reign of Mahathir Muhammad – the Ex-Prime Minister of Malaysia. The huge bridge, built across a man-made lake, on the left side is the entrance to this majestic city.

You can see several other pictures of the city which were shot during my first visit to the city.

Rainy Day

After a rainy day everything looks fresh and clean. This is the park which I pass every day to jumah prayer. Most of the times, the park will be occupied by cheerful children playing on the grass, waiting for their parents to pick them up after school. We spend a lot of time sitting on the bench, on our way back from shopping. It’s fun to observe little kids play without any worries of this world or the next.

Pictured is an old tree standing in the middle of the park with parasitic plants growing all over it.

Favorites

Surprisingly one of my favorite spots – the kitchen. And this particular spot, my second most favorite chair in the apartment, the microwave and the conventional oven aligns into perfect planes.

Memories

It's a lovely sight. I've stayed for hours staring from my balcony for the past years while living in Malaysia. What you see is one of the prime areas in Malaysia - Asia Jaya (in Petaling Jaya -PJ).

The picture is a collage of approximately 5 shots taken at dusk. From the left: Hotel Armada, Petaling Jaya Hilton (the white small building), Minara Axis (with the dome) and at the very right is Asia Jaya LRT station.
