Federal Building in Greentown

The Federal Government office block is located beside the city council building in Greentown. It was completed several years ago where many Federal Government departments had moved in. This is suppose a good move because the location in the city center is convenience for the public. Somehow we do not understand for what reason there is another building setup at Meru Raya which is more than 10km away and some departments have migrated there. Isn’t it a waste of resources by doing so?
