Peace Park was built as a rememberence of those have been sacrificed in the second world war in Borneo and the surrounding area. This park is a momento of friendship between malaysia and japan in the hope that peace and unity shall always prevail in this world. This park was made possible with the cooperation of the malaysian Government, Sabah State Government, Labuan municipal Council and the Government of Japanese.
It was heavily funded by the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation, chaired by Mr. Ryoishi Sasagawa and by families of the dead as well as from their comrades in arm and even from some industrial firm.
