Dataran Juang Tentera Darat

Dataran Juang Tentera Darat (29 April, 2017)


Dataran Juang Tentera Darat (GPS: 5.54375, 101.33047) is an armed forces memorial along the East-West Highway. It is located in Gerik, Perak, a short distance from Temenggor Lake. The centrepiece of the memorial gallery is the Malaysian Army Insurgency Memorial, erected to honour the sacrifices of members of the armed forces, particularly the 116 soldiers who died fighting Communist insurgency. It is in the form of a tank, and is therefore often called the Tank Monument.

The Malaysian Army Insurgency Memorial was officially opened by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on 9 May, 2014. Before that, Dataran Juang Tentera Darat itself was officiated by armed forces chief, General Tan Sri Muhammad Ismail Jamaluddin on 28 March, 2008. It is located right outside the army camp, Markas Taktikal 749.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
