Battle Grounds

- Labrador Park - As soon as the beginning of the 20th century, the British started to build a strong point at this place. The guns from Labrador were used to support the Malay Regiment in their 48-hour struggle by firing high explosive shells.

- Reflection @ Bukit Chandu - It was at this hill that the Malay Regiment fought one of the fiercest battles while defending the island in the last stand before Singapore fell to the Japanese.

- Kranji War Cemetery & Memorial - When Singapore fell, the Japanese established a prisoner-of-war camp there, which evolved into a small prisoner of war cemetery during the Japanese Occupation.
