The surrender took place here


The boardroom. In this boardroom, the British surrendered Singapore to Japan on 15 Feb 1942.


Sometime ago, I wrote a post that the former Ford Motor Factory would be opened to the public from 20 Feb 2006. I made a visit to the place sometime last month. If you would like to read about my visit, please check out: A Place of Historical Significance. Comments are welcomed.

The URL below offers an account of the British Surrender. Watch the video clips too for a glimpse of the historical surrender.
