This impressive monument commemorates the defeat of the communists in 1950 and provides fine views across the park and city. The giant militaristic bronze sculpture was created in 1966 by Felix de Weldon, the artist behind the Iwo Jima monument in Washington, DC, and is framed beautifully by an azure reflecting pool and graceful curved pavilion.
Nearby is a cenotaph to the Malay fighters who died in WWI and WWII and at the foot of the hill a quirky sculpture garden commemorating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
