Parliament House and the (original) National Monument.
Kuala Lumpur.
c.1970

National Monument is a bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who gave up their lives in the triumph over the Communists. Constructed in 1966, it is 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, and portrays seven men from the Malaysian Armed Forces holding the national flag. Each figure symbolising one of seven qualities: leadership, unity, strength, vigilance, suffering, courage and sacrifice.
In 1975, the monument suffered extensive damage due to an explosion set off by a communist terrorist. It has since been restored to its original state.
