MALAYSIA




The first card is a picture of a Putra Mosque in Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia.  The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur due to the overcrowding and congestion there. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains Malaysia's national capital.  The Putra Mosque showcases a main dome that is 36-meters in diameter.  The Five Pillars of Islam are represented by its five-tiered minaret rising 116 meters high.

The sender must have forgotten he sent me a card because I got another a week later.  The second is of Penang UNESCO World Hertiage site.  It is the inner part of the city of Georgetown in Malaysia.

Thanks for the great card (MY-61170).
