Malaysia’s first premier Tunku Abdul Rahman came up with the idea of the monument in 1963 after having seen the famous Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington County, Virginia. The American sculptor Felix de Weldon, who created the Iwo Jima Memorial, was hired to design a Malaysian version to serve as the National Monument commemorating the thousands of warriors and civilians who died defending the sovereignty of Malaysia against the Japanese occupation during World War II (1941-45) and during the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960). The sculpture was cast at a foundry in Rome at a cost of RM600,000. De Weldon was awarded the title of 'Tan Sri' for his efforts.
