Syariah Court

I usually choose Maxwell Road (Jalan Tun Abdul Razak) as part of the route on my journey to work. However, it just came to my mind to take the smaller road off Maxwell Road this morning when driving to work. The Islam Syariah Court building is now in front of me, which I normally just pass by and did not really looking onto it. In fact this can be considered a landmark building along Maxwell Road beside the historical building of Education Department, which is just a mile away.
