Xiao En Memorial Park, previously known as Nilai Memorial Park, is a public memorial park in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.[1] It is situated along the "Nilai Layby" of the North–South Expressway Southern Route and became the first closed tolled expressway public memorial park in Malaysia.
Urn theft
In March 2026, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) confirmed that 30 urns were stolen from a columbarium in the memorial park. A similar theft was reported at Perpetual Memorial Park in Kulai, Johor, and Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih, Selangor. The theft was suspected to be related to a cross-border criminal group holding the ashes of deceased for ransom. PDRM have since recovered four urns for Xiao En.[2][3][4][5]
