A 100 m high mast has been installed in this large square to fly the Malaysian flag. It is here - the padang, once a show of the settlers' sporting feats - that independence (merdeka in Malaysian) was proclaimed in 1957. Going around the square from the south, you pass in front of the Royal Selangor Club, in the Tudor style, where the English used to meet and where Malaysian high society now meets. Women are still not allowed to enter, and men are still required to wear very British clothing.

Place historique du cœur de Kuala Lumpur. Terrain de criquet entouré de quelques jolis bâtiments. A faire plutôt le week-end lorsque la place est fermée à la circulation.

Merdeka Square représente surtout le point central de la vieille ville. Nombreuses visites autour ainsi que l'office de tourisme et les bus (dont 1 gratuit).

Le square en soit ne possède rien de terriblement extravagant, si ce n'est l'immense mat avec le drapeau de la Malaisie. Toutefois, c'est l'ensemble de tout ce qui se trouve à quelques centaines de mètres du Merdeka Square qui fait de ce lieu une place incontournable. Et puis, le paysage est également agréable à voir le soir en marchant dans les environs.
we spent three days full to kulale lumpur and visited all recommendés in the chic but that remains our large disappointment, including a green just a matt, out of the centre, a large loop to get there is planned

the only positive point, pretty façades surrounding the square
