Angkasapuri is the main governmental building for Malaysia's Ministry of Information and it is also the headquarters for Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) located in Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

RTM was established as Radio Malaya operating out of Singapore on 1 April 1946. Upon Malayan independence in 1957, RTM was split into two stations, with Radio Singapura taking over in Singapore while Radio Malaya moved to Oriental Building, Mountbatten Road, Kuala Lumpur, going on air from the new location on 1 January 1959.

Suara Malaysia hit the airwaves on 15 February 1963 with 3 languages: English, Chinese and Indonesian.

Radio Malaya became Radio Malaysia on 16 September 1963 upon the formation of Malaysia.
