Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car from the Southern Region, start by getting onto the North-South Expressway (E1). Follow the signs towards Kuala Lumpur. Depending on your starting point, you may need to merge onto the E2 or E6 highways. Once you approach Kuala Lumpur, take the exit for Jalan Tun Razak. Continue on Jalan Tun Razak until you reach the intersection with Jalan Hang Jebat. Turn onto Jalan Hang Jebat, and you will find Merdeka 118 at Presint Merdeka 118. Parking is available nearby, but be prepared for parking fees that can range from RM2 to RM5 per hour.

Public Transportation - Bus

For those using public transportation, take a bus from your location in the Southern Region to Kuala Lumpur. Buses such as the Transnasional or Unititi Express run regularly from various towns in the Southern Region to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur. Once you arrive at TBS, transfer to the LRT (Light Rail Transit). Take the LRT from TBS to the Masjid Jamek station. From Masjid Jamek, transfer to the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and take the MRT to the Merdeka station. After disembarking, it’s a short 10-minute walk to Merdeka 118, located at Jalan Hang Jebat in Presint Merdeka 118.

Public Transportation - Train

If you prefer traveling by train, take the KTM Komuter train from your nearest station in the Southern Region to KL Sentral station. Once at KL Sentral, switch to the MRT line (MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line) and head towards the Merdeka station. After getting off at the Merdeka station, you can walk approximately 10 minutes to reach Merdeka 118, located at Jalan Hang Jebat in Presint Merdeka 118.
