A Visit to Malaysia's National Monument

For my next destination, I looked forward with anticipation to the famous Tugu Negara, or better known as the National Monument. Located not far from the Tun Abdul Razak Memorial's location from my last post.

Here's the fun facts: 

This National Monument(image below) is a massive sculpture that honors those who have died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom in the past, mostly against the Japanese forces during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which was during the period between 1948 til 1960. 

This monument(above) is located in the Federal capital, Kuala Lumpur.

According to wikipedia:

"It is the world's tallest bronze freestanding sculpture grouping. Every year on 31 July on Warriors' Day, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Prime Minister, heads of military, and the police pay their respects to the fallen heroes by laying garlands at the monument."

For more information, please go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Monument_(Malaysia)

This monument is open for 24 hours, and admittance is of no cost.

P.S. (If you wish to visit this place, it is best to do so in the morning before the tourist arrive is the masses.)
