Civillian War Memorial

Hi everybody. Today, we'll be taking you to the Civillian War Memorial located along Beach Road at City Hall. This Memorial was built to remember the civillians who died during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and to remember the shared experiences and struggles of the major races of Singapore during World War II. The structure consists of 4 pillars over 70 metres tall which represent the shared experiences of the four major races of Singapore - Chinese, Malay, Indian and other races. Every year on the 15th of February, there will be a memorial service held at the memorial. Here are some photos and videos of the place.
