Description of Programme

Delve into a pivotal chapter of Singapore's history with our engaging workshop, where the fall of Singapore during World War II is explored in depth. This programme offers a comprehensive examination of the strategic landscapes, challenges faced, and invaluable lessons from this crucial period. 

Participants will gain a profound understanding of the factors that led to the rapid surrender of Singapore, the immediate and long-term impacts of the Japanese occupation, and the strategic lessons applicable to modern defence.
