Brimmed with history, Malaysia has been formed with the tireless sacrifices of warriors and leaders for the nation's peace and prosperity. However, some have passed on to another life while achieving this feat. Tourists have the privilege to learn more about our history by observing the memorials of famous figures that have carved their reputation and name into the books of history.
From the mausoleum of a legendary beauty and innocence, Mahsuri, to a place to remember those who have perished in an act of horror, the Tanjung Kupang Memorial, to Bukit Cina, the memorials speak for itself - the stories of heroic acts and betrayals, transcending the history, myths and mysticism Malaysia possesses. |
