The Sule Pagoda is a Burmese stupa located in the heart of downtown Yangon, occupying the centre of the city and an important space in contemporary Burmese politics, ideology and geography. According to legend, it was built before the Shwe Dagon pagoda during the time of the Buddha, making it more than 2,500 years old. Burmese legend states that the site for the Shwe Dagon pagoda was asked to be revealed from an old nat who resided at the place where the Sule Pagoda now stands. The Sule Pagoda has been the focal point of both Yangon and Burmese politics. It has served as a rallying point in both the 1988 uprisings and 2007 Saffron Revolution. The pagoda is listed on the Yangon City Heritage List. (Source : Wikipedia)

The Supreme Court of Burma is the highest court in Burma (officially Myanmar). The former building, located between Maha Bandula Garden Street and Pansodan Street in Kyauktada Township, downtown Yangon, used to house the highest appeals court in Myanmar.(The new high court has been moved to Naypyidaw, the country's new capital since 2006.) Designed by architect James Ransome, construction of the High Court began in 1905 and was completed in 1911, and is noted for its British Queen Anne Style architecture, including its clock tower and its red-bricked exterior. The building is listed on the Yangon City Heritage List. Located near Yangon City Hall, the building faces the Independence Monument and the Maha Bandula Park. The rulings of the court are not always independent of the military government。 (Source : Wikipedia)
這建築物﹐跟我們吉隆坡的Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad很相似﹐可能都是英殖民地的關係吧﹐這兩座建築物都被用來當法院。
印像中﹐在我老家Kuala Lipis也有類似的建築物。
