The Merdeka Square Fountain is located on the side of Dataran Merdeka, the Kuala Lumpur Independence Square. There are in fact two fountains on Dataran Merdeka.
The fountain of Dataran Merdeka was imported from England and assembled in 1897. It was originally erected at Market Square, but was moved upon objection from the police as it obstructed the flow of traffic. The new location for it was on the corner of the Parade Ground, the former name of the Dataran Merdeka.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
