Tugu Negara (National Monument)
Commemorating the fallen heroes of Malaysia’s struggle for freedom, against the Japanese Occupation during World War II (WW2) and also the Malayan Emergency from 1948 to 1960, is the world’s tallest bronze freestanding grouping, at a height of 15m, unveiled in 1966.
Located at the National Monument Park in Kuala Lumpur, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, heads of military and the police, converge here every year on July 31, Warriors’ Day, to pay their respects.
Just within walking distance from the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, visitors are free to enter the National Monument Park. The gates are open daily from 7am to 6pm.
