5 Places in Malaysia with Having Concept of Classical and Egyptian

This is an assignment about what we found about the concept of classical or egyptian in Malaysia.
This is Kelab Golf Sarawak building at Kuching, Sarawak. It can be seen that the building is very similar as pyramid at the rooftop. Pyramid is a structure in which all of the outer surfaces are triangular and converge at a single point, and from the pic, the building also showed the same concept as a pyramid should be.
Sunway Pyramid at Bandar Sunway, Selangor. It's a shopping mall and it's full of concepts about Egyptian structures. At the pic, it's the entrance of the shopping mall, and we can see a sphinx sculpture just beside the entrance. What we know about a sphinx has the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face and breast of a woman. However what we see at the pic is not really having as same as what we know about sphinx in usual. Maybe it's because the sphinx at here is just a simple trace of sculpture for decoration and entertainment purpose. The second things that can be found is the patterns at the door of the entrance. The patterns is having most of the Egyptian patterns that let the people think that they are coming to mini Egypt.
When we see the exterior of Sunway Pyramid building, there's having the similar design that what we can see in Egypt. The Pyramid, the Sphinx and the design of the building, all really look almost exactly what we know in Egypt. The night view for it make the overall looks more impact and more focus for everyone to see the unique of the building and designs.
National Monument is having a sculpture design that a few military soldier were fighting for their own wills. It is just like what we studied about the sculptures in Egyptian or during Greek periods. The sculpture in the pics shows that the military soldiers were having their strong wills to fight for own country, even though got some of them died during the war. It's said that to dedicate to them in the cause of peace and freedom. The sculpture also shows that they are a team and they won't be defeated very easy because of their strong wills.
Sultan Abdul Samad building is the highest court in Malaysia. It is located at Kuala Lumpur city area, and it has more than 1 combination of the elements, such as arches, dome. The concept of the building is having mixture of many decades of Egyptian period designs.From the doors, domes until the wall design and columns, all are having the design of Egyptian.
