yg makes an interesting observation while on his daily walks:
once in a while, when i am at bukit batok nature park, i will see a bus-load of japanese tourists alighting at the foot of the 135 concrete steps. if you do not know the history of the place, you may wonder: what is the attraction for this whole bus-load of tourists? are they here to see the mediacorp transmission towers at the top of the hill? or are they here to see the ‘big book’ – the bukit batok memorial? no, they are there for another reason.
The Japanese were in fact there to see the chereito, or rather to see where the chureito once stood. What’s a chureito? And what does it have to do with the Japanese? For these answers, you will have to read yg’s the chureito at lorong sesuai. (Hint: It has to do with the last time the Japanese were in Singapore).
