Description of Programme
Embark on a profound and moving exploration with our bus tour, "War Heroes and Victims: A Memorial Journey," which pays tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II. This programme is not just a tour but a reverent pilgrimage designed to honour the fallen and recognise the impact of their service on our nation's history and identity.
As participants traverse through significant memorial sites such as the Kranji War Memorial, Reflections at Bukit Chandu, Changi Museum and Changi Beach Massacre Site, and the Esplanade Park Memorials, they will be immersed in stories of courage, resilience, and sacrifice. Facilitated by knowledgeable guides, the narratives shared at each site evoke deep reflection and gratitude, fostering a profound connection to Singapore's past.
This journey seeks to inspire national pride and reinforce participants' commitment to safeguarding the nation's peace and sovereignty. By understanding the sacrifices made during one of the darkest periods in Singapore's history, participants will develop a stronger sense of national identity and duty. This memorial journey is a powerful reminder of the enduring spirit of those who served and the collective responsibility to honour and uphold their legacy.
