Tuanku Syed Putra Building

The Tuanku Syed Putra Building, completed in 1962, is a significant government office located in the heart of George Town, Penang, Malaysia. Originally serving as the seat of the Penang state government, it was the tallest building in the city until 1966. The building, designed in the International style, features a total floor area of 125,000 sq ft and houses the Penang General Post Office on its ground floor. Its construction marked a shift from the colonial architectural styles of the past, making it a notable landmark in the Central Business District. Today, while the state government has moved to a new location, the building continues to accommodate various federal agencies, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Malaysia's administrative history.
