One of the most prominent and distinguished landmarks of KL, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is an enduring attraction amidst the rapidly changing city skyline. Built in 1897, the building was named after the reigning monarch at the time. The stately edifice served as the government administrative building during the British era. Situated in front of the Independence Square and the Royal Selangor Club
If you take a look at the building, you can notice that an oriental style; the Moorish style with a mixture of European and Islamic forms were chosen for the building. This building is only two storeys high and has a veranda around both floors. Each arch in the building was made in different forms, making the entire building a unique display in its own special way. From the roof, the outside of this building and even to the floor of the building, this red-bricked building will never fail to mesmerize you with its own unique beauty and magnificence shiny copper domes and a 41.2m high clock tower. The building is more than a century old. Yet, it has been well-maintained till this day!
The building has stood magnificently for many years now, silently witnessing many historical events in front of it from a nearby distance. Among these historical events is the celebration of independence of Malaya on the 31st of August 1957 by Tunku Abdul Rahman. The building was witness to the faithful day when our Malaysian soldiers lowered the British flag to raise the Malaysian flag in the field. Every year, Independence Day is celebrated in front of this building, with a grand and festive parade and march- past!
