Tugu Negara (National Monument of) Malaysia

Semalam punya cerita...

This is yesterday's story...

Sabtu 16 April 2016. Saya dan isteri mahu membawa anak-anak berjalan-jalan ke Planetarium Negara. Terlihat simpang ke Tugu Negara. Tergerak untuk singgah dahulu ke situ,

Saturday 16th April 2016. Me and wife wanted to bring the kids for a trip at the National Planetarium. We saw the junction to the Tugu Negara (National Monument). Felt moved to make a stop there first.

Masuk sahaja kawasan kelihatan bangunan ini.

Upon entering the area could be seen this building.

Tetapi kami tidak berminat dengannya. Ini kerana ia secara rata ia dibina untuk mengenangkan askar-askar British yang terkorban semasa Perang Dunia Pertama dan Kedua, zaman Tanah Melayu masih dijajah oleh kuasa Barat itu.

But we are not interested in it. This is because on the whole it was built to commemorate the British soldiers who was killed during the First and Second World Wars, during a period when Tanah Melayu (the Malay lands) were colonised by that Western force.

Yang kami mahu lihat terletak sedikit lebih jauh ke dalam kawasan.

What we wanted to see is located a bit far inside the area.

Ia adalah bangunan yang dikenali umum sebagai Tugu Negara Malaysia.

It is the building known to the general public as the Tugu Negara (National Monument of) Malaysia.

Ia dibina untuk mengenangkan askar-askar Melayu yang terkorban menentang ancaman tentera Komunis pada sekitar tahun 1948-1960...

It was built to commemorate the Malay soldiers who was killed while fighting against the threat of Communist soldiers around the years 1948-1960...
