The White Mansion on the Hill

With a rich history involving a famous architect, numerous owners and several refurbishment plans, Carcosa and Seri Negara, located within Lake Gardens, aren’t your average mansions. The two buildings formerly housed British High Commissioners, before becoming a luxury hotel, under various owners. What's the story of the buildings located on two adjacent hills, beyond those facts?  Elizabeth Cardosa from Badan Warisan Malaysia joins us on this monthly special, to chronicle its history and the future of majestic heritage buildings in the country.
