The National Monument (known as Tugu Negara in Bahasa Malaysia) is located within a walking distance of the famous Lake Gardens Kuala Lumpur at Jalan Tugu Off Jalan Parlimen. The National Monument is a sculpture that was built in remembrance of the brave soldiers who died fighting for the independence of our country. This historic sculpture has also marked its place in the book of records for being the tallest freestanding group of bronze sculptures.
The National Monument is a 48,562 sq meter space with 5 major components. The components are the monument, the pavilion, the surrounding gardens, the fountains, and the war memorial. It is one of the most visited attractions for visitors to Kuala Lumpur.
From my last visit, this tourist attraction was well-maintained and as always still a popular and worth-visiting place in Kuala Lumpur.
