    Merdeka Square & Sultan Abdul Samad Building Well, this is the most significant place in Kuala Lumpur as far as history is concerned. During Malaysia's independence from the British, the Union Jack flag was lowered here and replaced by the Malaysia national flag. The tallest flagpole in the world at Merdeka Square marks the spot where this event took place. Another prominent landmark is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (photo on left) which I'm sure you must have seen in travel brochures, TV shows or postcards of Malaysia. Other interesting places nerarby are the Royal Selangor Club and the Masjid Jamek Mosque, the oldest in Kuala Lumpur.

    Dataran Merdeka or Independance Square houses the tallest flagpole I have ever seen, and one of the tallest in the world there used to be a much shorter flagpole here, on August 31 1957 the Union Jack was lowered and the Malaysian flag was raised when Malaysia became independant after years of British control

    The main square of Kuala Lumpur, called Merdeka Square (not a nice name in italian) is dominated by a large cricket field. People go there to play for free.

    The starting point of any trip to KL will probably be Merdeka (Independence) Square. This square is surrounded by both modern and colonial-era buildings that offer a nice introduction to the country's past and present. According to our guidebook, Merdeka Square contains the world's tallest flagpole. Malaysia seems to be very fond of having the world's tallest things: the tallest buildings in the world, the Petronas Towers, are also located in KL.

    This was the Padang during the whole British colonialism thing. It's just a big green field. Well it's not really _just_ a big green field. I'm BSing this, but I saw it as sort of a symbol of Malaysian independence...this whole big British fixture which is now flanked by Malaysian flags (and palm trees) on one side and the site of the first ever Malaysian flag raising. It's also beautifully landscaped with flowers and fountains and things on either of the narrow ends which makes it just lovely. It's really pretty striking. Even if (for some reason) you weren't planning to stop there, when you go by, you'll want to.

  • Well, I kinda think that's an outdated superlative, but it is a mighty big flag pole, and I believe it's just on the site where the first Malaysian flag was raised, right there on the old padang...
