Merdeka square - the place which holds a great deal of significance to every Malaysian is a great place to be to truly understand the essence of the nation. On 31 August 1957, the Union Jack was lowered at Dataran Merdeka to mark Malaysia?s independence from colonial rule.Come and see for yourself, the place where Tunku Abdul Rahman declared independence of the nation.
On the southern end of the field, stands a 95-meter flagpole; something that is surely hard to miss. It is the tallest flag pole in the world. At the square you have the opportunity of standing before the very pole that was used to proudly hoist the Malaysian flag for the very first time that faithful day when Tunku Abdul Rahman declared independence for the nation!
Hence the name, Dataran Merdeka, which means ?Independence Square?. In its heyday, the square used to be the venue for parades, cricket matches and other important occasions. Today, this historic heart of KL is preserved with beautifully manicured lawns, terraces and a fountain.
If you come here with your family, you can relax in the field, and there are plenty of games on the edge of the field to buy for the kids so they can play in this large field. You can also enjoy the stunning scenery. August 31 every year is the best time of the year to be in Merdeka Square. There is nothing better than celebrating with the local, the national day. Do come along and join in the fun of the Merdeka Day Parade held in the square.
