Following history at Putrajaya's Millenium Tower part 2

Continued from Following history at Putrajaya's Millenium Tower.

Soon I arrived at the first bent up the Millenium Tower and it is facing the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque also known as the Steel Mosque.


This is how the tower looks like from the bend and there's still a number of glass panes to be covered above.
Here's the ones at the bend.
Again I just put up here those which I think are most relevant. And depending on circumstances, it could just be randomly picked...


There are 11 glass panels etched with history at the bend but I've just showed three.


The bend leads to another climb and more panels but again let me show just three.








After-note: On 11th July 2012 I was moved by circumstances to go through again the articles on the Millenium Tower. Then only I realised I've forgotten to put one important piece... the glass pane below...



You see, among the 143 panes of history available here, only this one was shattered. It refers to the year 1887 as if something of much significance has happened that year to really change the landscape of Malaysia. The way I see it, that year a number of  Malay rulers were installed by the colonialists British, rulers who could work in their favour. Enough said.
