Malacca State Secretariat Building, Government administrative complex in Ayer Keroh, Malaysia.
The Seri Negeri complex in Ayer Keroh consists of several named blocks: Block Bendahara holds the chief minister's offices, Block Laksamana houses the speaker of the state assembly and the assembly hall, and other blocks accommodate cabinet ministers. The complex also includes the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, the state governor.
The Seri Negeri complex in Ayer Keroh was created to consolidate state government offices that had previously been scattered around Malacca City centre. It now houses the chief minister's offices in Block Bendahara, the cabinet ministers, the speaker of the state assembly and the assembly hall in Block Laksamana, and the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri.
The building reflects how Malaysian government operates, with spaces designed for state assembly meetings and official gatherings. You can observe how the place functions as the center for regional administration and ceremonial events.
The site sits in Ayer Keroh, just outside Malacca City center, and is accessible by car or taxi. Public visits to administrative buildings are typically restricted, so it is best observed from outside the perimeter or visited by arrangement.
The complex's blocks carry Malay titles: Block Bendahara holds the chief minister's offices, while Block Laksamana houses the speaker of the state assembly and the assembly hall. The governor's official residence also stands within the grounds, so the state's top official lives on the same site as the legislature.
