Description of Programme
Embark on a unique programme combining guided elements with an Amazing Race around the historic Fort Siloso. Meet the guides at Fort Siloso and explore the grounds in teams, finding answers to the questions given, completing the tasks and learning about life in Singapore during World War II at the same time.
Participants will engage with facilitators to understand the importance of social cohesion and how different communities were treated differently during the Japanese Occupation. Participants will also learn how surrender was discussed at Fort Canning, and Ford Factory as well as the consequences of the Fall of Singapore in 1942 and the defeat of the Japanese in 1945.
Through challenging tasks and questions, participants will also understand how Singapore met the economic challenges of the British withdrawal in 1971, and how Pulau Blakang Mati was converted to Sentosa Island – with world-class resorts, attractions and exclusive residential properties.
