At the northern corner of the Gardens, the National Monument stands majestically since 1966. Designed by Felix de Weldon, an American who also designed the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington D.C., the monument commemorates those who sacrificed their lives safeguarding the then Malaya against Communist insurgency in the 1950's.
