Day +2160 : First stop - National Monument

I am fine today.

Our first stop is National Monument. In fact this place is not in our list, but we made an ad hoc decision to visit it while on the way to KL tower. According to Wikipedia:

The National Monument is a sculpture that commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which lasted from 1948 until 1960. It is located in the Federal capital, Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian Houses of Parliament is situated near the monument. 
It is the world's tallest bronze freestanding sculpture grouping. Every year on July 31 on Warriors' Day, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Prime Minister and heads of military and the police pay their respects to the fallen heroes by laying garlands at the monument. 

This is my first time visiting the place, and I found that it is a place worth to visit. I will bring my wife and children to visit the place later :-)

It was a very hot afternoon. We had ice cream before leaving the place.
