of Education. </p><p>During the <i>Kongres Bahasa dan Persuratan Melayu III</i> (The Third Malay Literary and Language Congress) which was held between 16 and 21 September 1956 in both Singapore and Johor Bahru, Balai Pustaka was renamed Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Royal Prof <a href="/wiki/Ungku_Abdul_Aziz_Ungku_Abdul_Hamid" class="mw-redirect" title="Ungku Abdul Aziz Ungku Abdul Hamid">Ungku Abdul Aziz Ungku Abdul Hamid</a> was instrumental in setting up the institution. </p><p>In 1957, DBP moved from <a href="/wiki/Johor_Bahru" title="Johor Bahru">Johor Bahru</a> to <a href="/wiki/Kuala_Lumpur" title="Kuala Lumpur">Kuala Lumpur</a>. Through <i>Ordinan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka 1959</i>, DBP was granted a charter with its own Board of Governors. With the charter, DBP has the power to form policies regarding the Malay language, responsible to spread the language and is able to go into book publishing business. </p><p>On 31 January 1962, DBP moved to its own building at Jalan Lapangan Terbang Lama (now Jalan Dewan Bahasa). The building's architect was <a href="/wiki/Lee_Yoon_Thim" title="Lee Yoon Thim">Lee Yoon Thim</a> and the prominent mural was by Ismail Mustam.
