Description of Programme
Kranji War Cemetery is a significant Military heritage site - the final resting place of over 28,000 Allied military personnel who gave their lives in the defence of Malaya and Singapore in World War II.
Through the tour of the cemetery and deeply moving stories, participants will gain a deeper awareness of the military units and personnel – both local and foreign – that were involved in the Battle of Singapore, and appreciate the sacrifice they made.
Participants can test their knowledge with a trivia quiz about the stories they heard. Tour ends with a short reflection session on the need for Commitment to Defence (C2D), the Singapore Armed Forces, and Total Defence, and a reiteration of key National Education messages.
