Tugu Peringatan Negara, Malaysia

Here are a few photos I took at Tugu Peringatan Negara, Malaysia back in Sep. 2005. I used this method for the photos so I can portray the blood that was spilled on the battle grounds during the war.

This was written below the solders:

Dedicated to the heroic fighters in the cause of peace and freedom
May the blessings of Allah be upon them

Here are some War Quotes to make you think: Do we need war in this world?

“Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace.” ~Charles Sumner

“What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.” ~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864

“The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.” ~Omar Bradley
