Dataran Merdeka was built to commemorate the independence of the country. This is the place where the historic event took place at the stroke of midnight on 31 August 1957 when the Union Jack was lowered for the last time. Since then Dataran merdeka became the centre-stage of the National Day celebration.
At the southern end of the square is the tallest flagpole with the height of 100 metres.
Beneath it is a food, leisure and entertainment complex called Plaza Putra and a carpark. Leave a Comment Directions: Dataran Merdeka is located in the front of Sultan Abdul Samad building.

Merdeka Square is the field where it all began for the Malaysian nation as independence was declared, at the stroke of midnight, on August 31, 1957. The square boasts of the tallest flagpole in the world, and is a hive of activity on Merdeka Day celebrated every year Leave a Comment

 MerdekaSquare by xuessium
There is supposedly to be an entertainment and food establishment underneath the square though I never did venture down since the outdated (and sometimes dirty) entrances and tiring banners simply do not look welcoming enough.

Merdeka Square was the Esplanade (Padang) of Kuala Lumpur where annual parades used to pass by or end up here. It was the old British colonial administrative area with the cricket club at the field.
The Secretariat buildings of Moorish style are picturesque and looks great when lighted at night. There is an underground car park under the field. The flag staff is the tallest in the country.
Unfortunately, it has been turned to be a gathering of teenager motorcycle gangs. But when there is a special event, it is worth going there at night where there are extra police force to take care of the crowd.

 Dataran Merdeka by longsanborn
A 100 metre-high flagpole marks the spot where the Malayan Flag was hoisted on 31 August 1957 signifying the independence of the country from the British colonial rule.

I came here as early as 7:30am. The place seemed very quiet and tranquil, no other travelers around yet except me… :-)… Here, I was delighted at the sight of flowers in different colors with the fountain beside it. The huge green field where the tallest flagpole in the world stands is very refreshing and provides a cooling effect to tired eyes. This is the place where Malaysia’s independence was declared. Sultan Abdul Samad Bldg. is a stately Moorish styled building located across DM. The sight of this bldg is also awesome at night.
St. Mary's Church is an example of English Gothic architecture featuring beautiful stained glass windows, tasseled tile paving and buttresses. Go inside the church and you'll see a beautiful pipe organ built in 1895. Address: Jalan Raja Laut, KLDirections: convergence of Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin and Jalan Raja Laut nearest train Masjid Jamek Star LRT
