Culture in Egypt/ Greek in Malaysia Part 3

Alright, there is a picture which shows a heritage buliding in Malaysia.

it is Museum Telekom.

Actually, from the first view on the buliding, it consist of 8 Pillar (doric) which is a culture from the Greek culture.

So, let me clarify why there is a building in Malaysia. Back to Malaysia History, this building is solely used as manual telephone exchange previously. It is important to have this building as it represent the evolution of the communication industry from the past till today. The design of this building is adapted from the Greek architecture with 8 column of pillar (Doric). The main purpose of this building is used as a underground space and help the installation of the telecommunication facilities. As the time goes by, the building is used as museum. It is a symbolism where is represent an era of the telecommunication evolution in Malaysia.The pillar was used as a kitsch which is for a decoration purpose only rather than work as one of the supporting pillar.

On the other hand, the Greek culture can be seen when the Greek pilaster is being used in the building.
