Situated near to Parliament house, this bronze war memorial is dedicated to those who died during the 12-year Malayan Emergency proclaimed after a communist insurrection in 1948. Built in 1966, Tugu Negara depicts seven men from the Malaysian Security Force symbolizing the seven qualities: leadership, unity, strength, vigilance, suffering, courage and sacrifice.

Royal Police Museum

The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Museum takes you on a history of policing from the earliest days of the Melaka Sultanate right through the current police force. Opened in 1961 at the Police Training Centre in Jalan Semarak, it was relocated to this 1.2-hectare site in 1997 to keep up with the 2000-odd collection of artefacts, information and displays which show Malaysian law enforcement at work.
