Bukit Persekutuan (GPS: 3.13781, 101.67942) is a hilly area to the southwest of the Kuala Lumpur city centre. Also called Federal Hill, it is bordered by the Perdana Botanical Gardens (KL Lake Gardens) to the northeast, KL Sentral and Brickfields to the southeast, Bangsar to the southwest and Damansara to the northwest.

Bukit Persekutuan got its name from the government quarters that were built there since the early 20th century. During that time, the British colonial government built bungalows here to house the colonial officers of the then Federated Malay States. The road leading to these bungalows was called Federal Road (nowadays Jalan Persekutuan).

Federal Hill got its name in 1952, in commemoration of the formation of the Federation of Malaya in 19481 This was eventually translated to Bukit Persekutuan. As with so many choice localities in Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Persekutuan is today a leafy affluent neighbourhood. There aren't any high rises here, with most of the development being upscale landed properties. Several of the state royal families have their satellite palaces, or istana hinggap, on Bukit Persekutuan, including the royal houses of Kedah, Negeri Sembilan and Perak.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
