Merdeka Square
Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaTel: +60 3 2693 6661 (Kuala Lumpur Tourist Information Centre)
The Dataran Merdeka was once a focal point - and cricket pitch - for the British colonial presence in Malaysia. The structures bordering the Dataran Merdeka resemble the physical environment of the colonists' native land. 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. A 100-metre flagpole, one of the tallest in the world, marks the spot.
