Kuala Lumpur, Federal administrative division in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur functions as an independent administrative region within Malaysia, governed directly by the federal government through Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
The administrative division structure was established in 1974 when Kuala Lumpur separated from Selangor state to become the first Federal Territory of Malaysia.
The administrative system incorporates multiple departments handling municipal services, from urban planning to public health, reflecting both Malay traditions and modern governance approaches.
The territory maintains specialized departments for business licensing, building permits, and local regulations, with service centers located throughout eleven administrative districts.
The administrative territory operates under a dual system where the Mayor serves both as city administrator and federal territory minister representative.
