Medan Pasar

Medan Pasar (also known as Old Market Square in English) is a public square. It was originally a market and was one of the earliest market in Kuala Lumpur built by Ye Yalai, the pioneer of Kuala Lumpur. One of the first sites to be developed. Before the independence of Malaysia, this place has always been a lively commercial market square. After a hundred years, the traces of the old market have disappeared and brought in, but the three-storey century-old buildings left over from the British colonial period on both sides of the square are still there to witness the elegance of that year. It has now become the main bus transfer station as well as a tourist attraction in the Kuala Lumpur. In the centre of the square is the Clock Tower built in Art Deco style. Designed by Arthur Oakley Coltman, the tower was built to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937. The memorial plaques mentioning the English king were removed after Malaysia's independence.
