Istana Negara is Malaysia’s National Palace. Its grounds are not open to the public, so the Main Palace Entrance is usually the spot where tourists take pictures. Istana Negara is bordered by a wall with the Malaysian coat of arms, featuring the Royal Insignia of His Majesty, placed on the steel bars between each fenced pillar. The cypress and casuarina-lined driveway leads to two entrances – the East Wing and West Wing.

The Tugu Negara (National Monument) in Kuala Lumpur was built to commemorate the brave soldiers who died in various conflicts throughout Malaysia's history. The monument stands about 15 meters tall, with a bronze statue depicting seven soldiers, symbolizing Malaysia's courageous spirit in resisting foreign invasions and internal conflicts. The monument specifically honors over 11,000 soldiers and civilians who died during the Second World War, the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945), and the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960). Thus, the monument's significance is not limited to World War I; it honors all those who sacrificed their lives for the country in multiple wars and struggles.

The National Mosque (Masjid Negara) was built in 1965, the same year Malaysia and Singapore separated.

The mosque features a modern design with a striking blue and white color scheme, as well as a large 16-point star-shaped roof, representing the 13 states of Malaysia and the 3 main principles of Islam.
