The establishment of Putrajaya was the idea of Prime Minister [[Mahathir Mohamad]]. First thought of in the 1990s, Putrajaya was envisioned to be “a laboratory for a new form of electronic government" that would emphasize new adoption of, investment in internet, media, and digital communications.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Landler |first=Mark |date=1999-07-10 |title=Putrajaya Journal; A Leader's Buildings Succeed, at Least in Excess |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/07/10/world/putrajaya-journal-a-leader-s-buildings-succeed-at-least-in-excess.html |access-date=2024-01-08 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The development of Putrajaya began in August 1995 and was completed at an estimated cost of US$8.1 billion.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Landau|first=Esther|date=2020-09-25|title=NST175: From Prang Besar to Putrajaya {{!}} New Straits Times|url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/09/627093/nst175-prang-besar-putrajaya|access-date=2021-09-02|website=NST Online|language=en}}</ref> On 1 February 2001, Putrajaya became Malaysia's third [[States and federal territories of Malaysia|federal territory]], after Kuala Lumpur in 1974 and [[Labuan]] in 1984.<ref name=":0" /> Putrajaya is also a part of [[MSC Malaysia]], a [[special economic zone]] that covers [[Klang Valley]].

== Etymology ==
Putrajaya was named after the first [[Prime Minister of Malaysia]], [[Tunku Abdul Rahman|Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj]]. The name is derived from the [[Sanskrit language]], which was then adopted into [[Malay language|Malay]]; "putra" (पुत्र) means son and "jaya" (जया) means "success" or "victory"; hence Putrajaya means victorious men or people.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fanciful origins of Malaysian town names |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2015/08/23/fanciful-origins-of-malaysian-town-names |access-date=28 April 2024 |work=The Star |date=29 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928102325/https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2015/08/23/fanciful-origins-of-malaysian-town-names |archive-date=28 September 2023}}</ref> The name was decided in late 1994.<ref name="to">{{cite news |title=Electric trains to run in July next year |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19941223-1.2.36.6?qt=rawang,%20selangor&q=rawang%20selangor |access-date=28 April 2024 |work=The Straits Times |date=23 December 1994}}</ref>

== History and design ==
[[File:Putrajaya City Precinct.svg|230px|thumb|left|Putrajaya precincts]]

''Prang Besar'' (alternately ''Perang Besar'', which is [[Malay language|Malay]] for "Great War"), was founded in 1921 on land that was jungle, as a [[rubber plantation]] by British veterans of [[World War I]], hence its name.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Story of Prang Besar|website=Arabis.org |url=http://www.arabis.org/index.php/articles/articles/plantation-history/the-story-of-prang-besar |access-date=30 January 2019}}</ref> Its land area of {{convert|800|acre|km2}} expanded to {{convert|8000|acre|km2}}, and was merged with surrounding estates, including Estet Raja Alang, Estet Galloway and Estet Bukit Prang.

Until 1975, what is today Putrajaya, along with adjacent [[Cyberjaya]], was under the administration of [[Hulu Langat District]].

The vision of a new Federal Government Administrative Centre to replace [[Kuala Lumpur]] as the administrative capital emerged in the late 1980s, during the tenure of Malaysia's fourth prime minister, [[Mahathir Mohamad|Mahathir bin Mohamad]]<!-- He was conferred the title 'Tun' after his tenure as the Prime Minister -->. A new city adjacent to Kuala Lumpur was envisioned, where the government would systematically locate its government offices within an efficient administrative hub; as opposed having government offices scattered across the congested Kuala Lumpur.<ref name=":0" /> The new city was proposed to be located between Kuala Lumpur and the new [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport]] (KLIA). Two areas were proposed: Prang Besar and [[Janda Baik]] of [[Pahang]].<ref>{{in lang|ms}}{{cite book|last1=Abdullah|first1=Hasfiza|title=DARI PRANG BESAR KE PUTRAJAYA|date=February 2012|publisher=Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka|url=http://dwnsiswa.dbp.my/wordpress/?p=271|access-date=26 October 2015|archive-date=4 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404044043/http://dwnsiswa.dbp.my/wordpress/?p=271|url-status=dead}}</ref> The new name {{em|Putrajaya}} was chosen for the site.

The federal government negotiated with the state of Selangor on the prospect of another federal territory. In the mid-1990s, the federal government paid a substantial amount of money to Selangor for approximately {{convert|11320|acre|km2}} of land in Prang Besar, [[Selangor]]. As a result of this land purchase, Selangor now surrounds two federal territories: Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

Planned as a garden city and an [[smart city|intelligent city]], 38% of the area is green spaces in which the natural landscape is enhanced.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=JPN Putrajaya - jpn.com.my |url=https://jpn.com.my/jpn_offices/Putrajaya.htm |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=jpn.com.my}}</ref> The plan incorporated a network of open spaces and wide boulevards. Construction began in August 1995; it was Malaysia's biggest project and one of Southeast Asia's largest, with an estimated final cost of US$8.1&nbsp;billion. The entire project was designed and constructed by Malaysian companies, with only 10% imported materials.<ref name=":1" /> Most buildings in Putrajaya were built with conscious use of particular [[Islamic architecture#Regional styles (after the 10th century)|Islamic]] elements from the [[Middle East]] and [[Central Asia]] like those of [[Baghdad]] and [[Damascus]], designed to reflect a cosmopolitan pan-Islamic identity emulating those regions espoused by [[Mahathir Mohamad#Final years and succession_(1998–2003)|Mahathir's government]], rather than taking from [[Islamic architecture#Malay-Indonesian|homegrown elements]] that had taken hold [[Islam in Southeast Asia|in Southeast Asia]] or those brought [[Indo-Islamic architecture|from India]] (like the [[Architecture of Kuala Lumpur#Neo Moorish and Mughal|neo-Mughal]] buildings of [[Kuala Lumpur]]).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Moser |first1=Sarah |title=Putrajaya: Malaysia’s new federal administrative capital |journal=Cities |date=August 2010 |volume=27 |issue=4 |pages=291-3 |doi=10.1016/j.cities.2009.11.002}}</ref><ref>[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/13604810902726210 Post‐colonial projects of a national culture]</ref>

The [[1997 Asian financial crisis]] somewhat slowed the development of Putrajaya. 300 members of the Prime Minister's office staff moved there in 1999, and the remaining government servants moved in 2005. On 1 February 2001, the city was formally transferred to the federal government and declared Malaysia's third federal territory.<ref>{{cite news|title=PM isytihar Putrajaya sebagai Wilayah Persekutuan|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0202&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_02.htm|access-date=23 May 2018|work=[[Utusan Malaysia]]|date=2 February 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821000021/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2001&dt=0202&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=mh_02.htm|archive-date=21 August 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2002, [[KLIA Transit]] rail line was opened, linking Putrajaya to KLIA in [[Sepang]]. The construction of the [[Putrajaya Monorail]], which was intended to be the city's metro system, was suspended owing to high costs. One of the monorail suspension bridges in Putrajaya remains unused.

In April 2013, the Putrajaya government signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the government of [[Sejong City]] in South Korea to mark co-operation between the two cities.<ref>[https://archive.today/20131208205153/http://www.thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2013/4/6/central/12923355&sec=central "Closer ties between Putrajaya and Sejong, Korea"].

==Government and politics==
Government ministries and bodies remaining in Kuala Lumpur include the [[Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Malaysia)|Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry]] (MITI),<ref>{{Cite web |last=ALBAKRI |first=DANIAL |date=17 November 2015 |title=Miti moving to new HQ |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2015/11/17/miti-moving-hq |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621193421/https://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/11/17/Miti-Moving-HQ/ |archive-date=21 June 2021 |access-date=21 June 2021 |website=[[The Star (Malaysia)]] |language=en}}</ref> [[Ministry of Defence (Malaysia)|Ministry of Defence]] (MINDEF)<ref>{{Cite web |title=BACKGROUND |url=https://www.mod.gov.my/index.php/en/about-us/background |access-date=12 May 2024 |website=MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, MALAYSIA}}</ref> and [[Ministry of Works (Malaysia)|Ministry of Works]] (KKR), as well as [[Bank Negara Malaysia]], [[Royal Malaysian Police]] and [[Malayan Railways]]. The [[Parliament of Malaysia]] also remained in Kuala Lumpur, as well as the [[Yang di-Pertuan Agong]] (King) of Malaysia. Foreign [[List of diplomatic missions in Malaysia|embassies and missions]] except Brunei still remain in Kuala Lumpur.

The local government in Putrajaya is the responsibility of the [[Putrajaya Corporation]] (''Perbadanan Putrajaya''), a unique local authority. Previously it was administered by the [[Sepang Municipal Council|Sepang District Council]].

Putrajaya is represented in the [[Parliament of Malaysia]] by one elected [[Member of Parliament|MP]] in the [[Dewan Rakyat]], under the seat of [[Putrajaya (federal constituency)|Putrajaya]], as well as one appointed senator in the [[Dewan Negara]].

As with the other federal territories of Malaysia, Putrajaya does not have a territorial legislature.

=== Public transport ===
====Rail====
Putrajaya is served by two urban rail lines: the {{ric|KLRT|7|name=yes}} line and the {{ric|KLRT|12|name=yes}} through the {{KLRT code|KT|3}}{{KLRT code|PY|41}} [[Putrajaya Sentral]] transportation hub on the western border of Putrajaya. The MRT Putrajaya Line is Malaysia's fifth [[Rapid transit|metro]] line, and the longest in the [[Rapid Rail]] network, with Putrajaya Sentral being the southern most station in the network. The KLIA Transit is one of Malaysia's two operational [[airport rail link]]s, connecting [[KL Sentral]] in [[Kuala Lumpur]] to its [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport|international airport]], calling at 3 stations in between including Putrajaya.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kliaekspres.com/plan-buy/schedule/kliatransit_schedule_updated/|title=KLIAtransit Schedule - KLIA Ekspres|website=Kliaekspres.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Putrajaya MRT line set for full opening on March 16 |url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/03/03/putrajaya-mrt-line-set-for-full-opening-on-march-16/ |website=Free Malaysia Today |date=3 March 2023 |access-date=3 March 2023}}</ref>

The national rail network [[Keretapi Tanah Melayu]] (KTM) does not serve Putrajaya. The cancelled {{rint|my|HSR}} [[Kuala Lumpur–Singapore High Speed Rail]] was meant to serve Putrajaya with a station at Kampung Dato Abu Bakar Baginda, about halfway between Precinct 14 and [[Bandar Baru Bangi]].

Around 2003, plans for a monorail in Putrajaya were underway but were halted due to low population. Plans to revive the construction of the {{rint|my|14}} [[Putrajaya Monorail]], with proposed connections to [[Kajang]], [[Bandar Baru Bangi]] and [[Cyberjaya]], have not yet materialised.

====Buses====
[[Putrajaya Corporation]] provides its own stage bus services through its subsidiary ''[[Nadi Putra]]'' using [[Natural gas vehicle|natural gas-powered buses]] and a few [[electric bus]]es. The bus service serves the entirety of Putrajaya as well as Cyberjaya and provides express bus routes to Kuala Lumpur through [[Puduraya]] and a few other nearby cities from its hubs at [[Putrajaya Sentral]], and P&R Presint 14.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.papsb.com.my/perkhidmatan-bas/laluan-dalam|title=PENGANGKUTAN AWAM PUTRAJAYA SDN BHD|website=Papsb.com.my|language=en|access-date=2017-03-26|archive-date=8 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210108220115/http://www.papsb.com.my/perkhidmatan-bas/laluan-dalam|url-status=dead}}</ref> Bus stops in Putrajaya are very common too and serves [[Nadi Putra]]. [[Rapid KL (brand)|Rapid KL]], [[Causeway Link]] and Cityliner also provides bus services to other areas from [[Putrajaya Sentral]] such as [[Banting]], [[Puchong]], [[Bandar Utama]] and [[Petaling Jaya]].

Intercity buses also serve bus routes from Putrajaya Sentral to the northern states.
