National Monument
Jalan Parlimen, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaTel: +60 3 2693 6661 (Kuala Lumpur Tourist Information Centre)
Close to Parliament House stands the National Monument--a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who gave up their lives in the triumph over the Communists. Constructed in 1966, it is reputed to be one of the world's largest free-standing bronze sculptures. The 15.54 metre high sculpture, which was designed by the American sculptor Felix de Weldon, portrays seven men from the Malaysian Armed Forces holding the national flag, each symbolising one of seven qualities: leadership, unity, strength, vigilance, suffering, courage and sacrifice.
