via The Star, 15 August 2022: Questions over the fates of two historical mansions in Kuala Lumpur since their management was taken over by the federal government.
HERITAGE activists, architects and history buffs are questioning the lack of information on the historical Carcosa and Seri Negara mansions following their closure more than three years ago.
The mansions were locked up after the buildings’ management was taken over by the Federal Government on June 1, 2019.
Carcosa and Seri Negara are two colonial-era mansions in Kuala Lumpur near Perdana Botanical Garden.
Carcosa was built in 1896 and was the official residence of the first Federated Malay States Resident-General, Sir Frank Swettenham.
Seri Negara was built in 1913 as a guest house for royalty and other dignitaries.
