Tugu Keris, Monument at Royal Gardens in Klang, Malaysia.
Tugu Keris is an aluminum and steel structure shaped like a traditional Malay dagger located at a major roundabout in Klang. The monument rises prominently and can be seen from various directions throughout the city.
The monument was commissioned in 1985 by the Sultan of Selangor to mark the silver jubilee of his reign over the state. This gesture marked a significant moment in local history.
The monument honors the keris, a traditional blade deeply connected to Malay nobility and warrior customs that remain part of local identity. This weapon appears frequently in ceremonies and community stories.
The monument now stands in Klang Royal Gardens off Jalan Tengku Kelana, opposite the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is best seen from the Simpang Lima roundabout, so approach on foot from the Jalan Tengku Kelana side rather than stopping along the road.
The 2014 move was forced by a flyover under construction just past the Sungai Rasau toll plaza, which blocked the monument at its old roadside site along the Federal Highway. It now stands in Klang Royal Gardens off Jalan Tengku Kelana, opposite the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, and is easily seen from the Simpang Lima roundabout.
