Security and privacy was important for the sultan and his consort. Guards were stationed at the main entrance and surrounding the palace. The privacy of the royal households was provided by the separation of public and private spaces according to the hierarchy of the family through different levels. The ground floor was the public area where the maids, servants and security guards were stationed most of the time. On royal occasions when guests were invited, it will be held on the ground floor. Guests entered through a terrace before entering the main entrance . They were not required to take-off their shoes before entering the palace unlike the Malay tradition of taking-off before entering a house.
