Known among locals as Hari Merdeka, Malaysia celebrates its independence from the British colonial rule on August 31 each year. A time for great celebration and festivities, Kuala Lumpur serviced apartments would perhaps be the best place to be at the time of this joyful occasion.  Ascott Kuala Lumpur is a short stay apartment in Kuala Lumpur that is preferred by many who grace this city with the aim of experiencing this culture saturated hub. It was after a ferocious struggle that Malaysia gained its much coveted independence and therefore, the value and the pride of it is still very much felt by the nationals. On this joyous day celebrated as a National Holiday by the entire nation, the Malaysian flag, known as Jalur Germilang, is seen to ripple and swell in pride in air from every government building in Kuala Lumpur. Public performances and parades headed by the presiding leader of the country can be witnessed during this time while the streets are generously decorated with decorative Malaysian flags as well as multicoloured fairy lights, giving the entire town a festive glow.
