National Monument, War memorial in Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The National Monument features a 15-meter bronze sculpture depicting seven military figures standing on imported Swedish stone in a garden setting.
The monument replaced a British colonial cenotaph in 1966, commemorating soldiers who died during World War II and the Malayan Emergency of 1948-1960.
The monument serves as a central location for national ceremonies, including Warriors' Day celebrations that honor Malaysian military service members.
Visitors can reach the monument through Jalan Tugu road, which runs parallel to the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station near the Houses of Parliament.
Felix de Weldon, creator of the Iwo Jima Memorial, designed this monument as the world's tallest freestanding bronze sculpture group.
