New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building

New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building, Parliament building in Petra Jaya, Kuching, Malaysia

The New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building stands on a grassy slope above a road on the north bank of the Sarawak River in Petra Jaya, between The Astana and Fort Margherita. Its nine floors rise to a faceted gold-panelled roof shaped like a Malaysian royal umbrella, above a base of vertical concrete fins and pointed arches. The cross-section is a nine-pointed star, modelled on the Bidayuh baruk round house.

Ground was broken in September 2004, with Naim Cendera and PPES Works as main developers; the building was handed to the Sarawak government in May 2009 at a cost of RM 296.5 million. Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin opened it on 27 July 2009, the first state assembly building in Malaysia opened by the King, with all 11 Sultans and Governors present. The 218th Conference of Rulers met on the eighth floor the next day.

The building uses a nine-pointed star symbol and a royal umbrella-shaped roof that represent regional design traditions. These elements link modern construction with local cultural identity.

The building is located in an easy-to-reach area of Kuching and becomes visible from the river. Visitors can appreciate the modern design from outside, though interior access is typically limited to official occasions or scheduled visits.

A 99-meter flagpole stands on the grounds as a marker for six decades of the state's role in forming the nation. This monument is visible from many angles across the city and shapes the skyline of the area.
