A very solemn and peaceful place to be at if you like history or nature. There’s not much information provided but you can spend the time reading the writings on the tombstone. Made you realise the price of war is too much for humanity to survive. I can’t find any proper parking nearby, so I parked at Taman Botani and walked to the cemetery. It was only 500m away. There are 2 sides of the cemetery, one is for the British armies and another one is for the Indian regiment. There are 4 Malaysian Chinese tombstones on the Indian regiment side. The main gate of both sides are locked at all times, presumably to prevent people driving into it. But if you look closely, there is a small gate left open at the side of the British army graves while as for the Indian regiments graves, you can enter from the side as it is not enclosed by any barriers. At the back of the Indian regiment side, there are stairs for a brief climb. The view is magnificent. I didn’t managed to snap a picture of it as I were chased by wild monkeys 😂.

The War Cemetery is well maintained and honors the soldiers of the Allied forces that gave their lives in the defence of Malaya during the WW2. The gravestones documents the name of the soldier and the regiment he represented and also the date he fell. There are also gravestones without the names of the soldiers as they are unknown. Very touching and solemn cemetery.

Being someone who likes to visit historical places, I would give this place a 5-star. Well maintained. On one side rests those in the Indian Army and on the other side rests the British Army. Some of the words on the gravestone are really touching. Gates were closed but I climbed over the short wall to take a brief look before jumping out again.

Well maintained cemetery for fallen WW2 soldiers. It was heartbreaking to see that many of the head stones had no names or links of any identity on them. A somber reminder of how tragic war is. The area however was peaceful and stunningly beautiful for their final resting place.

One of the most somber places in Malaysia, with many graves of fallen soldiers of the Allied forces from World War Two. Best to visit at daybreak when the sun peeks up behind Maxwell Hill
