3. The iconic Sultan Abdul Samad building is located in front of Dataran Merdeka and Royal Selangor Club, along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. It was completed in 1897 by A.C. Norman. During the time of the British administration in Malaya, it was used to house several government departments. Today, this historical building houses the Supreme and High Courts. The building with unique Moorish designs and clock tower is widely photographed by visitors to the city centre. On important occasions, the building is decorated with colourful lights and flags. The historic Dataran Merdeka, where the Union Flag was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted for the first time on 31 August 1957, is also just across the street from the Sultan Abdul Samad building.

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, capitale vibrante de la Malaisie, où les tours Petronas dominent quartiers malais, chinois, indiens et cuisine de rue réputée.

Les tours jumelles Petronas, reliées par une passerelle, définissent l'horizon, avec un parc paysager et des fontaines à leurs pieds. La tour KL offre une autre vue depuis sa colline boisée, et la place Merdeka, où le drapeau national fut hissé à l'indépendance, est encadrée par le bâtiment Sultan Abdul Samad de style mauresque.
