I received an email that claims these are photos of Istana Zakaria which was built by the late Datuk Zakaria Md Deros without approval from the local council.
Are these photos really of his home? My jaw dropped. What an ambitious man was the late Datuk Zakaria!
But after reviewing the photos, I grew skeptical. If this was really his home here, why can’t I find any local influence in its interior and exterior architecture? Don’t tell me the late Datuk Zakaria was ashamed of his Malaysian roots?
I started googling around for more pictures and found these taken by reporters of Istana Zakaria when they were invited there for last Hari Raya’s open house gathering.
Tell me, do these look like pictures of the same building, or different?
