The National Monument is located 50m along Jalan Tamingsabi, at the northern end of the Lake Gardens on Jalan Parlimen. The 15m-high bronze statue is dedicated to the 11,000 people who died during the First World War, the struggle against the Japanese and the Malayan Emergency.Providing excellent views of Parliament House, it was built in 1966 and features the inscription ‘To Our Glorious Dead of the First World War (1914-1918), Second World War (1939-1945) and the Emergency (1948-1960).’The world's tallest freestanding bronze sculpture grouping, the monument of seven soldiers standing and supporting their fallen comrades was designed by Felix de Weldon, the same noteworthy designer who worked on the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington DC. Each figure denotes one of seven qualities: courage, leadership, sacrifice, strength, suffering, unity and vigilance.

    马来西亚的国家纪念碑位于首都吉隆坡市中心一个公园里。原来的纪念碑建于英国殖民地时期,为记念两次世界大战中的英军战亡者。马来西亚独立之后,记念碑被移到目前位置,在1966年,纪念碑旁添加了一组青铜塑像,来纪念独立时期的牺牲者。

    The weather is a bit hot, but fortunately the bus can be driven directly up, a large square, full of tourists, all the tour guides are explaining, about the monument, about the history of Malaysia, and a pool of water

    You just need to set in waze to go to Taman Tugu. Don't be surprised, the location of this green jungle is apparently still in the middle of the city of KL.

The attention to historical significance is evident, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking to understand Malaysia's rich heritage. A visit to Tugu Negara is a poignant and memorable experience, offering a deeper connection to the nation's past and a profound appreciation for its sacrifices

    Free entry to all. The Tugu Negara houses the world's tallest bronze freestanding sculpture which commemorates the people who sacrificed during world world II in Malaysia. A nice place to bring kids to understand more about history of Malaysia. The place is not big so the visit won't take long.
