Since Malaysia achieved its independence on August 31, 1957, the Ministry of Defence
has been officially operated in a building located in Brockman Road (currently known as
Dato' Onn Street), Kuala Lumpur. The office of the first Defence Minister, the late Tun
Abdul Razak, who had served from 31 August 1957 until September 22, 1970, was also
located here.
A few years later, the first Ministry of Defence building was built by the Federal
Government at Jalan Padang Tembak, Kuala Lumpur to house the commander offices
and Malaysian Armed Forces senior officers of all the three services. The building was
constructed at a cost of RM 122,000.00 which was approved by then Defence Minister,
Tun Abdul Razak on March 18, 1960.
In order to accommodate the increasing needs with the expansion of the armed forces
towards the control of national security responsibility, a complex which consist of six
blocks building as high as four-storey each was built in front of the Personnel Services
Division office. The RM2 Million complex was opened by the Prime Minister, Tunku
Abdul Rahman on 6 April 1967. Following of the British Government decision to
withdraw their armies from this region after 1970, Malaysian Government has taken
several steps, Ministry of Defence was required to reorganize Malaysian Armed Forces’
need of its expansion purposes.
Realizing this, the government has decided to build one new building for Ministry of
Defence to accommodate all its agencies. Thus, on March 10, 1982, the foundations of
the building had been launched by the Deputy Defence Minister, Dato' Abang Abu
Bakar bin Datu Bandar Abang Haji Mustapha.
The new building of Ministry of Defence which is located at Jalan Padang Tembak,
Kuala Lumpur, was built with the price of RM 144 million. The construction started in
early 1982 and completed in the middle year 1985. The building as high as 20 storeys
which is known as 'Defence building' provide office compartments and meeting rooms.
Its surroundings which is known as Defence Building Complex also provide some of the
facilities such as the tiered parking, auditorium, Surau, parade square, guard station,
tower, computer room, 'helipad', cafeteria and others.
Ministry of Defence is led by Defence Minister and assisted by the Deputy Minister.
Ministry of Defence organization contains two main services; civilian and Malaysian
Armed Forces (MAF). The ministry is responsible towards the implementation of
National Defence Policy and resources provided to the armed forces to defend the
country.
