The sunrays of the morning are the first to rouse you from your sleepy state. Stretch, stifle a yawn…would you have thought how different it was for those who lived through the war-torn days of 1942 Singapore?
War On Wheels is now open for the first time to the public. You have read the written posts, watched the episodes filmed and browsed through the photos taken in the last trial run. The War On Wheels programme has been revisited, tweaked and fine-tuned, just for you. Invasion Singapore!, the day journey brings you to non-mainstream venues including the Kranji War Memorial, Memories at Old Ford Factory, and Reflections at Bukit Chandu begins this November 14th, and again on 21st and the 28th.
Night owls might prefer to hoot along to Singapore Under the Gun, the evening tour. Listen to tear-stained stories of Changi Museum and Chapel, weep along to the unjustified deaths at the Sook Ching Massacre site (never again will Changi Beach seem the same to you) and dwell deep beneath in an underground bunker left behind under Fort Canning at the Battle Box. The giant monster gun at Johore Battery stands silently admist the stillness of surrounding palm trees, as a fatal reminder to the dark days of the Japanese Occupation.
