Being there almost 3 years ago..Taking pic , eating and walking surrounding ...In front of it, there is a fall...It was so beautiful.
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.
ASEAN Sculpture Garden on the left side of the entrance to Tugu memorial. A bit difficult to find parking on weekends, better if you go bicycling. The good news is the toilets are open in the small park below, and also mini market & gift shops.
This place commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II. The surounding scenery is beautiful, but the area is not shaded, so make sure you get prepared to shade you under the hot sun.
