Design and construction
The pillars are composed of concrete (cement), whereas the entire structure is constructed out of wood. This palace has a "{{Langx|ms|atap putong limas|label=none}} roof," also called a "{{Langx|ms|beranda|label=none}}." Little yellow-painted pillars, standing {{Convert|0.6|m}} tall, support the roof, which is meant to be used as a living area or rest place. This palace was once covered in bullion roof tiles. The palace underwent restoration in the 1970s, when an iron roof was installed in its place and geometric designs were used to shade the pillars. There is a {{Langx|ms|beranda|label=none}} that is attached to the stairway.
