Tugu Negara



This is Malaysia's National Monument (Tugu Negara). It was erected in 1966 to commemorate the heroes and warriors who fought during World War II and the Malayan Emergency of 1948-60. This 15.5 metre sculpture was inspired by an American, Felix de Weldon.

The monument is comprised of seven bronze figures, each representing leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage, and sacrifice respectively.
