Stadium Merdeka is one of our country's most historical landmarks — it was considered an engineering marvel when it was built 67 years ago

The stadium started being built in 1956 and was completed in just a year, before witnessing the historic moment when Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed the country's independence. Since then, the stadium has played a pivotal role in hosting national celebrations, football competitions, concerts featuring renowned artistes, and more.

Stadium Merdeka has been closed since 2018, but is set to reopen its doors to the public by the middle of this year, with a new landmark to be launched alongside it.

Now, this historic ground is transforming yet again with the establishment of the Merdeka 118 precinct

It is built adjacent to Stadium Merdeka, which played a pivotal role in various cultural and sporting events over the years.

Situated at the heart of a growing and thriving community in KL, it is set to become Malaysia's vibrant cultural heartbeat.
