Merderka Square in Kuala Lumpur
Merderka Square, where independence from the British Empire was declared on the 31 August 1957, is the symbolic centre of Kuala Lumpur and a place where civic events are frequently held. On, and around, Merderka Square is also where you will find the city’s most important historic buildings, many of which were constructed during the period when the Malay Peninsula was a British colony.
With the exception of the China Town area of the city, much of the rest of Kuala Lumpur is very modern constructed during the long economic boom that Malaysia has enjoyed over the last few decades, funded in part by its oil industry.

The most impressive building is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building on the east side of Merderka Square. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building is 137.2 metres long with a central clock tower that is 41 metres tall. The building was finished in 1897 and was originally used as offices for the British colonial administration of Selangor State.
Other buildings to visit, also built during British rule, are the Jamek Mosque, the Royal Selangor Club, the Old High Court Building, the National Textile Museum and Kuala Lumpur City Gallery which used to be a government printing office.
