Merdeka 118: Kuala Lumpur’s Skyward Icon

A Tower of Significance

The name "Merdeka," meaning "independence" in Malay, pays homage to the nearby Stadium Merdeka, where Malaysia declared its independence in 1957. Designed by Fender Katsalidis and RSP KL, the tower's unique design features diamond-shaped glass facades, representing Malaysia's diverse cultural heritage. The spire, completed in December 2022, adds a striking silhouette to the Kuala Lumpur skyline
