Singapore World War 2 Sites are the historically significant place especially for the citizens of Singapore. These sites are the War Memorials, which tell the story of the dominion of the Singapore by Japan during the World War II.
Singapore surrendered to the Japanese forces during World War II on 15th February 1942, when Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival signed the Peace Agreement in the Boardroom of the Ford Factory at Bukit Timah. Thousands of civilians and soldiers of the Allied were either killed or injured during the war and the three and half years of Japanese Occupation. This traumatic time period had made a deep mark in the heart and minds of the people of Singapore who lost their loved ones during these years. |
The Japanese decided to free Singapore in the year 1945. The surrender took place on 12th September 1945 in the City Hall, where thousands of civilians and Allied soldiers collected at The Padang to observe the occasion. This event marked the end of the Japanese Occupation and closed the chapter of World War II in Singapore.
The heroics and emotional achievements of the people who served the Allied Forces and resisted the Japanese supremacy were kept alive for the posterity in the form of World War II Sites. These significant World War II Sites stand as a reminder for the subsequent generations of the battles fought and the hardship endured by the people of Singapore during the period of the war.
