The 15.54 meter high National Monument Kuala Lumpur
The National Monument, Kuala Lumpur or Tugu Negara was built to recognise and honour those who gave up their lives in the cause for peace and freedom, particularly during the nation’s struggle against the threat of Communism (the period of Emergency).
The memorial site where the Tugu Negara stands is located within the tranquil Lake Gardens, close by to the Parliament House in Kuala Lumpur, occupying an area of approximately 48,562 sq m.
The National Monument Kuala Lumpur is one of the largest freestanding sculptures in the world. In honour of the nation’s heroes, the “last post” is sounded every Saturday from 6.00 p.m.to 6.10 p.m. (except on public holidays).
