Memorial sights in Singapore City

  1. A

    Reflections at Bukit Chandu

    Atop Bukit Chandu (Opium Hill), this WWII interpretive centre is set inside a tiny renovated villa. The focus is on the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Malay Regiment, who bravely (and unsuccessfully) defended the hill against the 13,000 Japanese in the Battle of Pasir Panjang in February 1942.

  2. B

    Kranji War Memorial

    Near the Causeway off Woodlands Rd, the austere white structures and rolling lawns of the Kranji War Memorial contain the WWII graves of thousands of Allied troops. It’s hard to believe that this area was once a hospital and ammunitions dump.
