This is the country's war chest. The federal treasury building in Putrajaya. Nice brown building isn't? I like the blue gray reflection on the brown structure. I shot this as I did a walk about in the city with some friends. More aptly, one of my friends remarked about this building being “this is where our monies are kept”…which is true. Treasury is where one stores currencies or things of a high monetary value. What is the origin of treasury? In the classical period, the word treasury describes buildings erected specifically to house gifts to Greek gods (i.e. Siphnian Treasury in Delphi).
Want to view the war chest? Take a walkabout in Putrajaya. I may be wrong but I believe ordinary folks aren't allowed a casual tour inside the building unless you have business to be in the building. Any feedback on this is welcomed.
