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 is de bruisende hoofdstad van Maleisië, waar de Petronas Towers boven Maleise, Chinese en Indiase wijken en beroemd straatvoedsel uitsteken.

De tweelingtorens van de Petronas Towers, verbonden door een skybridge, bepalen de skyline, met een aangelegd park en fonteinen aan hun voet. De KL Tower biedt vanaf zijn beboste heuvel een ander uitzicht, en het Merdekaplein, waar bij de onafhankelijkheid de nationale vlag werd gehesen, wordt omlijst door het Sultan Abdul Samad-gebouw in Moorse stijl.
