Independence Square, Malaysia

Next stop: Independence Square, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur gained historical significance again in 1957 when the first Malayan flag was raised on the grounds of the cricket field, Merdaka Square, to mark the country's independence from British rule. Kuala Lumpur came of age in 1974, when it was formally detached from its mother state of Selangor and made into a unit of its own called the Federal Territory.

Merdeka Square has indeed such wonderful architectural design. It has this distinct feature that is only evident in Islam countries - the sort of Indian concept. This place is one of the places you have to see when you got to Malaysia because:

1. As mentioned earlier, it has a very interesting architecture
2. It is nice to see where the country's Independence were held
3. And it is nice to take pictures of it [Tourist Shot:)]

So when you go to Malaysia, come see their nice Independence place :)
