Galeria Perdana, Langkawi (See on map)
Address :

Malaysia(see the GPS coordinates)N 6°24'10'', E 99°51'14''

added on 12/23/2007

The idea for Galeria Perdana was mooted by Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad when he helmed the country as the Prime Minister.This unique gallery was built to display and share with everyone the various awards, souvenirs and gifts the Prime Minister and his wife received from world leaders, statesmen as well as Malaysians during his tenure. His rationale for doing so was to reflect the reality that whatever he received while in office was on behalf of all Malaysians. As such, he believed that that it was only appropriate for the country to have access to the collection.
