http://www.putrajaya.gov.my
On 1 February 2001, Putrajaya which has an area of 49.30 hectares was officially
declared as the third Federal Territory after Kuala Lumpur and Labuan. The Federal
Government Administrative Centre which was inspired by the fourth Prime Minister
of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was moved to Putrajaya from Kuala
Lumpur to reduce the concentration of population, traffic congestion and the
socio-economic and socio-political gaps. This is due to the strategic position of
Putrajaya which is situated 24 km to the south of Kuala Lumpur and 20 km at the
north of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang. The Federal Territory
of Putrajaya has one Parliamentary constituency.
