Culture is associated with the nation-building of a country. The influence of culture refers to elements of culture such as customs, values, attitudes, norms, and beliefs. Generally, culture is considered as a set of ways of life for a group of society or community. Kuala Kangsar Royal Town is known as a cultural town. The town is conceptualized as a Royal Town and a historical heritage town based on the existence of the Perak State Sultanate buildings around the town. With this, it is seen as a crucial asset in the nationbuilding. Therefore, this study aims to identify the representation of culture in Kuala Kangsar Royal Town as a factor in nation-building. The research method used secondary data with an analysis of journals, government reports, and structured interviews with stakeholders. The findings indicate that as an old Royal Town, Kuala Kangsar emphasizes and represents the characteristics of historical heritage in enhancing nation-building. From the perspective of cultural development in Kuala Kangsar, it presents a different form of culture compared to other Royal Towns in Malaysia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
