I must congratulate the officers administrating Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia.

The growth has been phenomenal. From its launching in 1995 the town has matured. But what Malaysians can feel proud of is the beauty of the town. It is truly a garden city.

The streets are lined with flowers and beautifully trimmed hedges. Shady trees lined the roads. Parks and gardens are well kept and landscaped. The administrators clearly have good taste and appreciate beauty.

The buildings lining the central boulevard are imposing. Even the food courts are well designed and maintained.

I have seen many capitals and cities in many countries. But none can compare with Putrajaya in terms of beauty and orderliness.

May I say congratulations to the administrator of Putrajaya. You have done a great job.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad is the former prime minister of Malaysia.
