A
National Monument
At the northern end of the Lake Gardens, the National Monument commemorates the defeat of the Communists in 1950. The militaristic bronze sculpture was created in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, the artist behind the Iwo Jima monument in Washington, DC. Nearby is a monument to the Malay fighters who died in WWI and WWII.
Creating an interesting juxtaposition to the triumphalism of the monument, members of the Tugu Drum Circle (http://tugudrumcircle.blogspot.com/) meet here every Sunday from 17:30 for some therapeutic drumming.
