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.
