  We went there on a very less crowded Sunday afternoon and it was a good experience. The heritage buildings create a picture perfect backdrop and since it was the week of National day, there were huge flags all over which made even more grand. It’s a place to visit when you have additional time on hands after all the essential sight seeing is done in KL. Nevertheless a very interesting and historically important site to visit. Don’t forget to take ride on an electric beam scooter on the open road, it’s fun and heaven for reel creators 😀

  Looking at the structure and it’s architectural designs, it does bring you back to the historical moment of the Independence Day. However lack of maintenance and being unoccupied makes the building lost its glory and prestige. Something needs to be done to preserve its honour, pride and historical values.

  Located exactly opposite to Sultan Abdul Samad building. Truly, a historical place where Malayan flag raised for first time at midnight of 31-08-1957 on Independence Day. All old memorials with erection of pillars or statues could be seen here. There is no entry fee. When we visited recently renovation of park was going on. Historical buildings like Royal Selangar Club, Saint Mary’s cathedral are nearby.

  My first time visit. I always see this building on TV during Merdeka Day. Such a glorious building however there is a need to preserve and make use of the building instead of leaving it like a ghost town.
