Xiao En Memorial Park, previously known as Nilai Memorial Park, is a public memorial park in Nilai,[1] Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. 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.
In March 2026, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) confirmed that 30 urns were stolen from a columbarium in the memorial park. A similar theft was previously reported at Perpetual Memorial Park in Kulai, Johor. The theft was suspected to be related to a cross-border criminal group holding the ashes of deceased for ransom.[2][3][4]
