Malaysian Houses of Parliament

An aerial view of the complex before mankind vanished

The Malaysian House of Parliament is a building complex where the Malaysian Parliament assembles. The structure is located in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia, close to the Malaysian National Monument. The complex was constructed during the period when the federal government was based in Kuala Lumpur. While the vast majority of government operations has moved to Putrajaya since the late-1990s, the parliament continues to convene at Kuala Lumpur's Parliament House. The complex comprises two parts, a 3-story main building, and a 17-story 77-meter tall tower. The main building hosts the *Dewan Rakyat* (House of Representatives) and the *Dewan Negara* (Senate) while representatives' offices are located in the tower. Despite this, the buildings have only weakly represented the Malaysian government to the world, but are symbolic as that in Malaysia. But without any more humans left in Malaysia or anywhere else in the world, can the complex be able to hold on for itself?

1 day after people: The entire complex has gone silent, as the sounds of parliament sessions fade away for good. As the night progresses on and the tower lights up, the Kuala Lumpur Grid fails, leaving the building completely dark, in stark contrast to its white-colored exterior.

5 months after people: The Malaysian Houses of Parliament is being battered by extreme winds brought on by a massive downpour striking all of the Klang Valley. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes the interiors on the middle floors of the main tower, setting it ablaze. The structure itself can withstand the inferno but is weakened as nearby support columns feel the extreme heat brought on by the raging blaze. The rain water also begins to hasten corrosion, and parts of the exterior are already loosening, perhaps due to the strike.

1 year after people: The white exterior of the main building and the tower is beginning to chip away from the forces of nature, while animals inside the building comfortably make themselves at home. The Dewan Rakyat Chamber has become a gathering spot for birds and dozens of animals, bringing in seeds that will not grow until nature penetrates into the interior of the building. Meanwhile, in the tower, plants are beginning to grow on the exterior of the building. Although not visible, they will soon engulf the entire structure.

10 years after people: Back in the Malaysian Houses of Parliament, the entire complex has turned gray from years of its paint fading away. Vines have grown across the tower, but it is still recognizable. Meanwhile, during another massive turn that destroys the Kota Darul Ehsan Arch several kilometers away, a lucky bolt of lightning strikes a section of the Dewan Rakyat Chamber, penetrating through it and exposing the chamber to the wrath of Mother Nature. Seeds that are now dropped inside the main chamber can now grow freely.

25 years after people: The entire complex is slowly being covered in trees, plants, and greenery. The main tower has now become similar to the sky garden in the Telekom Tower, as vines, trees, and even flowers grow on the exterior of the building. Inside the main building, the interiors are being attacked by animals and humidity, while the Dewan Rakyat Chamber continues to be covered in plant life, as trees now grow where the seats of MP's used to be.

50 years after people: As the Malaysian Houses of Parliament gets less and less visible as trees now block the view of the complex, the complex itself is barely holding on for survival. In the main tower, some supports cannot bear the heavy weight on one side of the roof, and the entire right section of the building comes crashing down in heaps of rubble. Despite this, the main tower still stands for now. Back in the main building, one of the triangular frames above the Dewan Rakyat comes crashing in. It shatters into thousands of pieces and scares away animals. This is now the beginning of the end for the Malaysian Houses of Parliament.

80 years after people: In Kuala Lumpur, the time has officially run out for the Malaysian Houses of Parliament. Decades of plant life invasion, corrosion, combined with the devastating inferno have led to the main tower barely standing. Eventually, the supports at the base of the tower cannot hold up the tower, and they break, leading the tower to lean and fall in onto the main building and the Dewan Rakyat chamber, destroying it all. The Malaysian Houses of Parliament is now left unrecognizable, with only sections of the main building still left, but they will eventually collapse too within a matter of a few months, and now nothing is left of what used to be the main parliament complex of Malaysia.
