The Tugu Negara (National Monument) Poem by Daya Nandan

The Tugu Negara is a tribute to those who fought for our motherland,
Soldiers that sacrificed for our freedom and Malaysian rights to strongly stand,
It is a sculpture to commemorate those who died in Malaysia's struggle for liberty,
The brave and noble warriors who made an impact to our nation's history,

The world's tallest bronze freestanding sculpture grouping holding the Malaysian flag aloft,
That evokes patriotism within as we remember the sacrifices of brave heroes that were lost,
It symbolises leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage and sacrifice,
It is a reminder to all of us that the freedom we take for granted came at a price,

So, let us not forget the value of freedom that our patriotic forefathers fought for,
Let us not forget the great sacrifices our nation's brave heroes made in war,
We must stay patriotic and stand united to protect Malaysia that we love and know,
And through our sacrifices more improvements and progress our nation will show!
