There’s so much more to discover and learn about Singapore, and about being a Singaporean. Infused with National Education messages, get connected again with our home. Discover fresh insights of well-known places, and explore lesser known sites to fall in love with.
“Living in Syonan-To”
To the current generation, the Japanese Occupation of Syonan-to is a distant memory, a memory that bears little relevance to our lives today. Yet, there are countless lessons from this period that we must remember, and untold stories of bravery and resilience that we must honour. This tour is a walk to the sites related to the Japanese occupation within the Civic District. Through our engaging narrative, you will learn about the darkest period in Singapore’s history. Discover your own will to survive, and realise that unity at home is key to our continued peace.
