Welcome to Malaysia Travel

On the midnight of 30 August 1957, the British flag was lowered and the Malayan flag was raised for the first time at the Padang, an event watched by a large number of people there.
Wait, what is the Padang? This Merdeka Square was formerly known as the "Padang" and was used as the cricket field of the Selangor Club.
So yes, perhaps this square is like our version of Pegangsaan Timur 56, but they could do it in open space since, well, it's non-secretive perhaps.

I'd been to KL for few times, but never been here actually.
The landmark of Merdeka Square is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, in this pic as the background.
So, who is basically Sultan Abdul Samad? Is he the first PM of Malaysia? Is he the owner of the field? Is he the child of his mother?
Sultan Abdul Samad is the reigning sultan of Selangor at the time when construction began. Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya were part of Selangor territory.

Do you see a resemblance of the Big Ben?
Yes, the central clock tower is designed to echo the Big Ben but in an Indo-Saracenic style. It is 41 meter in height.
The facade of the building faces the Padang and stretches over 137.2 meter along Jalan Raja, at that time the largest building in Malaya.

I like the staircase design on the tower. It somehow whispers elegance. It is said that the design of the tower may have been influenced by Muir Central College of Allahabad in India.
The building originally housed the offices of the British colonial administration, and was known simply as Government Offices in its early years. Currently, it's for Kemenkominfo and Kemenpar of Malaysia.

The "blood and bandages" style—red bricks with white plastered arches and banding. It is what they said about the style of the building. Interesting. I'm wondering what's the term in bahasa Melayu. .

Apparently, the flagpole on the field, that I had difficulty in capturing its photo, is one of the tallest in the world.
It's the 10th or 11th highest flagpole in the world. The 1st is none other than flagpole in Jeddah

After walking under sizzling sun at Merdeka Square, we went to مسجد نݢارا مليسيا to perform prayer..
It is a beautiful masjid, especially on the inside. Plus, ademmm..

After performing prayer at Masjid Negara, we went to Istana Negara. Feels like Tamu Negara.
Tapi, di sini kita hanya dari luarnya saja, dari pintu depannya. Saya juga tidak berhasil mengambil foto yang apik.
Ngomong2, bahkan saya belum pernah foto di depan pintu Istana Negara di Indonesia. Boleh gak sih foto2 gitu kalo di kita?

From a short a visit to Istana Negara, we had another short visit to Batu Caves.
Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples. Do you know what limestone is? Batu kapur. Yes, bahasa Inggrisnya keren ya.
Kalo Batu limestone? Berarti Batu batu kapur dong? Terserah. Jadi, Batu ini memang nama sungai di dekat situ yang namanya Sungai Batu.
Nah, yang di depan itu yang gede patung apa? Namanya patung Dewa Murugan, dewa perang dalam agama Hindu. Kalo sama GWK tinggian mana? masih tinggian GWK.
Usia batu kapur yang membentuk bukit ini katanya sekitar 400 juta tahun.
Kami tidak naik ke atas karena keterbatasan waktu. 15 menit untuk foto, dan kembali ke bus.

Belum ke Kuala Lumpur kalau belum ke Petronas Twin Towers. Katanya.
It was once the tallest building on earth, for 6 years from 1998. It's 452 meter tall. The tallest building in Jakarta right now, Gama Tower (TIL), is only 289 meter.
