Monument in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia
Melaka Warrior Monument, officially the Melaka Warrior Monument for the Chinese victims of Anti-Japanese occupation is a monument at Bukit Cina in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia. It was built to commemorate the Chinese victims of the Japanese occupation of Malacca as part of the British Straits Settlements during World War II and was unveiled officially by the then high commissioner, Sir Edward Gent in 1948. The first known major renovation for the monument was in 1972. The monument is inscribed with four Chinese characters, "忠貞足式" in Chiang Kai-shek's handwriting, which means "their loyalty can be taken as an exemplar".
