Fun fact: Tugu Negara is actually the world’s tallest bronze freestanding sculpture grouping – pretty cool, right? The monument has been a site for important commemorations, especially on Warriors’ Day, when Malaysia’s leaders would gather to pay their respects.

It’s definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to soak in some history with a side of awe!
