 Seven soldiers, golden towers. by Kakapo2
The massive 15.54 metre high statue is a replica of the famous Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington DC. Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Raman, wanted this replica because the original had impressed him on a visit to the USA.
The statue in Kuala Lumpur is made of bronze and was created by Felix de Weldon in Italy. It sits on a white platform, surrounded by a water filled ditch which features spraying fountains. Address: Jalan Tugu off Jalan Parlimen

the National Monument. by Kakapo2
It was created after World War I and initially stood near the Railway Station but was relocated to this park in 1966 when the National Monument was completed.
Cenotaphs are memorials for people whose remains lie somewhere else. The word derives from Greek and means: empty tomb. Address: Taman Tasik Perdana

Malaysia obtained indepenced from colonial Britain peacefully. But in the early days, there were communist insurgencies as well as threats from Indonesia and Philippines as both countires have territorial claims over the new Malaysia.
The National Monument is surrounded by pleasant water fountains. It reminds one of the famous sculpture of Iowa Jima of the raising of US flag during WWII.

 Zoom in through the trees and
shrubs! by Kakapo2
If you have a very close look at this photo you can see the Petronas Twin Towers in a gap of the shrubbery on the right side.
Below the National Monument is the Asean Sculpture Garden which features a lot of water features and … you guess it … sculptures.

The men to his left and to his right symbolise courage, vigilence and leadership. Another one in the middle who holds a wounded comrade stands for the sacrifices and the suffering of the soldiers. In total, seven soldiers are included in the monument.
