Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has defended Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s (Khazanah) RM600 million investment for the restoration of heritage buildings in Kuala Lumpur, including Carcosa Seri Negara.

Describing them as significant landmarks that embody the nation’s history and identity, Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said the historic buildings are not merely relics of the past but symbols of the Malay rulers’ heritage and the nation’s journey towards independence.
