    The Merdeka Square (Independence Square or Dataran Merdeka) is situated in the centre of the Kuala Lumpur city. It's close to the Gombak river, the Masjid Jamek, Central Market and China Town. Around the Dataran Merdeka, you can find the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the Royal Selangor Club, and the National History museum. Some of these buildings have Moorish flavour. 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.

    From this 'Dataran Merdeka' also known as 'Padang Merdeka' or Merdeka Square, we can see to the direction of Abdul Samad Building, KL Memorial Library, National History Museum and the mock-Tudor Royal Selangor Club [in this picture is on the left side]. A social centre for KL's high society, built at 1890s.

    Flagpole at Medeka Square
    by stellz20
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The Dataran Merdeka or Independence Square is the scene of the annual celebration of independence - a grand parade, in which just about every major Malaysian organization participates, is held once a year to mark the occasion of the nation's birth. It is appropriately known as Merdeka Day. A 100-m flagpole, one of the tallest in the world, marks the spot of Merdeka Square. Situated on one corner of the square is the Selangor Club, replicating the Tudors of merry old England. It was at this square in 1957 that the Union Jack was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted, signalling Malaysia's independence as a nation My Visit: It was such a lovely day. A very fine weather indeed. A display of classic cars was being held across the road at the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
