The palace was originally a double-storey mansion which called The Big House built in 1928 by a local Chinese millionaire, Chan Wing. During the Japanese occupation
from 1942 to 1945, it was used as the residence of the Japanese
Governor. After the surrender of the Japanese on 15 August 1945, the British Military Administration
(BMA) commandeered it for a senior military officers mess from the rank
of brigadier. With the formation of the Federation of Malaya in 1950,
the Selangor State Government rented the residence from the owners for
Straits Dollars 5,000 a month until Merdeka or Indepencence in 1957. It
was renovated to become the palace of His Majesty the Sultan of
Selangor. In 1957, the owners sold the property of 13 acres to the
Federal Government at an agreed valuation of Straits Dollars
1.4 Million.
