Whispers of royalty echoed in the air as we approached the Palace of Perak. Here in Kuala Lumpur, this palace, also known as Istana Changkat, stands proudly on Federal Hill. The Palace of Perak isn’t the main residence of the Sultan of Perak. It serves as his official residence when he’s in Kuala Lumpur. He uses it for attending meetings of the Conference of Rulers and for other official business. The Malay name, Istana Changkat, adds another layer to its story. The word “Istana” translates to “palace,” while “Changkat” refers to a hill or slope, perfectly describing its location on Federal Hill. This palace isn’t just a building. It is a symbol of the Sultan’s connection to Kuala Lumpur. It represents the enduring link between the state of Perak and the nation’s capital.
