  Arthur Benison Hubback -  A British architect and soldier who designed many sumptuous and important buildings in British Malaysia, incorporating both Indo-Saracenic architecture and European wrenaissance styles or Edwardian architecture.  From Hubback’s drawing board, elements of Arabesque merged with fine Indian detail in the State Secretariat building, or Sultan Abdul Samad as it is known today; classic European design were thrust to a whole new height of style with Mughal inspirations like works, the Ipoh Railway Station and Hotel; and Tudor architecture was transformed with traditional Malay aesthetics.
