About the stadium:

It was also used as the venue for concerts, which included such international acts as Celine Dion, Kool and the Gang, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and Avril Lavigne. It also hosted the fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Bugner on July 1, 1975.
Kuala Lumpur is the focal point of new Malaysia. While the city's past is still present in the evocative British colonial buildings of the Dataran Merdeka and the midnight lamps of the Petaling Street nightmarket, that past is everywhere met with insistent reminders of Kuala Lumpur's present and future.
Here at Dataran Merdeka, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time at midnight on 30th August 1957 and the Malayan flag hoisted in its place. The national flag today flies on the tallest flagpole in the world, standing at 100m (328ft). The famous mock-tudor building of Selangor Club which is only open to members. Across the road to the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, now the Supreme Court, and one of the most photographed of the city's landmarks. At night, see this magnificent building lit up, it is a pretty sight indeed.
You will find some of the most magnificent modern buildings in the world, Petronas Twin Towers and Menara Tower. Add the historical places as Kuala Lumpur Railway Station and the Masjid Jame Mosque, Museum Negara and the Orchid Garden, just to mention a few, and you will find a city with attractions for every taste!
