New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building, Parliament building in Petra Jaya, Kuching, Malaysia
The New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building is a parliament structure in Petra Jaya situated beside the Sarawak River. It contains offices for assembly members and multiple halls designed for legislative sessions and state ceremonies.
The project started in 2004 as a needed expansion of regional administration and was completed in 2009. The construction followed growing demands from the state government for modern working spaces.
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.
