  4. DTaiping

Explanation

Putrajaya is the correct answer because it was specifically planned and developed in the 1990s to serve as the administrative capital and federal administrative centre of Malaysia. While Kuala Lumpur remains the national capital and the seat of the legislature, Putrajaya houses the seat of government and the judiciary to alleviate congestion in Kuala Lumpur. All major federal government ministries and the Prime Ministers office are located in Putrajaya.
