    Yap...I've been there but unfortunately the place was renovated. We're not allowed to go up there and visit the Monument itself instead the guide let us see the garden that most of the Asian countries contributed a flowers in the garden before you go up the Monument....So, the photo was taken in that area..KL has realy very pretty tree branches and are very green..So, you can see the result!

    As a child, I've always been in awe at this monument everytime I see it in Malaysia's anthem 'Negaraku' at the start of the TV (RTM) schedule.

    Negaraku (Malay for 'My Country') is based on the state anthem of Perak state, which in turn takes its melody from an old Malay song, Terang Bulan, that was popular in the 1930s in Malaya. Negaraku has been the country's national anthem since it gained independence in 1957. Sadly, there has been recent suggestions to change the anthem. I dearly hope my childhood memories of Malaysia won't disappear...

    Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens and the National Monument.
    Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana) dates to the 1880s and is the city's most popular park. This 92 hectares park is built around an artificial lake. The National Monument, one of the world's largest freestanding bronze sculptures, was constructed in 1966 to commemorate Malaysian and Commonwealth soldiers who fought against Communist rebels in the 1950s. The National Monument is the country's symbol of freedom.
