Plaza Tugu Negara
Pesiaran Sultan Salahuddin, Kuala Lumpur, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Soaring bronze sculpture group honoring Malaysia's fallen soldiers, within a lakeside plaza.
This guide to Plaza Tugu Negara in Kuala Lumpur opens with the bombing of Malaysia's National Monument on the morning of August 26, 1975. It goes back to 1960, when Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman stood before the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington and commissioned its sculptor, Felix de Weldon, to build Malaysia's own tribute. The guide covers what the monument's seven bronze figures were meant to represent, and the twelve-year struggle behind them.
