It looks like the shift is only partial and will only be completed in March this year. Many a doctor who has been to the MOH which was located in Jln Cenderasari would probably miss the old place. Putrajaya is many many kilometres away. The old MOH had pretty shady carparks and the buildings were the usual gomen grey blocks. Precinct 1 would probably turn out hot and stuffy, correct me if i am wrong. Putrajaya looked that way when i last visited. Of course the MOH website makes no mention of this partial move and still maintains the old address.
