Millennium Monument, National monument in Putrajaya, Malaysia

The Millennium Monument is a 68-metre aluminium obelisk in Precinct 2, Putrajaya, standing in a 25-hectare park. Its ascent is a balcony-like viewing platform split into four connected sections marking Malaysia's pre-independence era (before 1957), post-independence (1957–1970), present-day Malaysia (1971–2020) and future Malaysia (2020 onwards). Seen from above, the tower forms the golden hibiscus, Malaysia's national flower.

The Millennium Monument was the first national monument built specifically for the Federal Territory of Putrajaya, erected after the Putrajaya Landmark. Its ascending walkway is divided into four connected sections marking eras of Malaysian history: pre-independence before 1957, post-independence 1957-1970, present-day Malaysia 1971-2020, and Malaysia from 2020 onward. A time capsule buried beneath the monument by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir was to be opened in 2020.

Seen from above, the monument's top forms Malaysia's national flower, the hibiscus (bunga raya), rendered in gleaming gold. The climb to the top is divided into four connected sections marking the pre-independence era before 1957, the post-independence years 1957–1970, Malaysia from 1971 to 2020, and the years from 2020 onward.

Visitors access the monument via ramps leading to observation platforms with views of Putrajaya Lake and nearby buildings. Multiple levels allow you to climb and enjoy different vantage points of the surroundings.

The time capsule buried beneath the monument was placed there by Tun Dr Mahathir while he was Prime Minister, and the sources state it was to be opened in 2020. The monument is clad in aluminium and, seen from above, its column forms the shape of Malaysia's national flower, the hibiscus, in gold.
