Story of a National Monument (Tugu Negara)



Many nations has a sorrowful story. Malaysia also has a story during World War II and the Malayan Emergency.
A National Monument is a Tugu Negara in malay and was built in 1966.
It is designed by Felix de Weldo who is a famous sculptor from Austria.
It is a historical bronze sculpture that commemorates the soldiers. They passed away struggle for freedom in Malaysia.
The height of bronze sculpture is 15.54 meter and there are seven soldiers.
A solder is holding a Malaysia flag to the sky. And a sculpture reveals leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage, and sacrifice.
Every year on the Heroes Day that is on 31 July, many politician and people pay repects to them.
I saw some of local family was spending a their day. They seemed that talked the story about how they are courageous people to their child.
