Former Bank Negara Malaysia Building, Kuala Lumpur. The old Central Bank of Malaysia building is one of the groups of Moorish-style buildings 'framing' the Selangor Club Padang. Build in 1910, at the corner of Jalan Raja, it was first the FMS (Federated Malay State) Railway building. When the new railway offices were completed in the 1920s, it housed the Public Works Department until the Central Bank acquired it. It was officially declared the building of the Bank Negara Tanah Melayu on 24 January 1959. In 1970, the Central Bank of Malaysia moved to its new building along Jalan Kuching. Today I do not know this building in used for what purpose.
