Merdeka
Square (Independence Square) & Selangor Club
Probably the most historic location
in the country; it was here, on 31 August 1957, that the flag
of the newly created Malayan
Federation was hoisted. Today, the tallest flagpole in the world commemorates
the spot. Bordering the square is the elegant, Tudor-style Selangor Club,
once
a bastion of English colonial
rule. Next to it is St Mary’s Cathedral, one of the prettiest and most historic
churches in the country, while opposite is the Sultan Abdul Samad building,
once the
colonial administrative centre,
famed for its blend of Windsor/Moorish architecture and a clock
tower that was designed along
the lines of Big Ben.
