Malaysia is well known by our Petronas Twin Towers (tallest twin-buildings in the world at 451.9 meters). It’s probably less widely known that the new Merdeka 118 building in Malaysia which is nearing completion is the world’s second tallest building (at 679 meters, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 829 meters).
Recently the new Merdeka 118 building has become accessible to visitors on the ground floor and the surrounding area, which includes the Independence stadium adjoining (Stadium Merdeka), and it’s also during this Ramadan month that a Ramadan bazaar is being held around the stadium, giving a visit access to the stadium grounds. It’s such a great opportunity to visit and access both places for photography for Google Maps, checking out accessibility facilities, visit the Ramadan bazaar and break fast together in the stadium itself!
