War museums? Not my cup of tea, but this one is exceptional. Interactive. Absorbing dioramas and video presentations and helpful, friendly staff make this my favourite war museum in Singapore, and there are several, including the Battle Box, Changi Chapel plus the war cemeteries. Of course, this is history from the perspective of the victors, and jingoism inevitably raises its... More

Dropped by with my kids on a late Sunday morning before lunch. A very peaceful compound considering its violent history during the fall of Singapore. It's a good start to have my boys interested in Singapore history during WWII. They very fascinated by the multi media presentation detailing the fall of Singapore and the Battle that took place in the... More

I thought this museum was fascinating, my wife who is not interested in anything military was also moved by the harrowing personal stories portrayed here ( one of which is being made into a film). The museum uses modern video in novel ways to tell the story of the defence of Singapore and the actual house and area where the... More

As I walked into the compound, I immediately noticed a beautiful garden which has been well maintained. There were several bences shaded by mature trees and beautiful shrubs. As I scanned to the left I saw a pond and a two story colonial building which housed the interpretive museum. Just outside of the house there stood a monument of three... More

If you are keen to know about the history of Singapore, than reflections at Bkt Chandu is a place to visit. It is also along the Southern Ridges. So if you are going to this place then do visit the rest of the Southern Ridges.

Kent Ridge Park & Reflections At Bukit Chandu is a nature park and World War II memorial site. The actual park size is quite large, but the attractions are grouped in only a few points. Plus, there are several steep hills in the area. Exploring the entirety of Kent Ridge Park & Reflections At Bukit Chandu will require a good... More

Really a place for you to cry. I came with my students and watched the video on leftenan Adnan, they cried! It is so touching and sad. I dropped a tear too as I controlled myself. If my students were not there, I would definitely need a hug. Walk around the place and hear the stories. Really touching and sad.... More

This place is tucked away but well worth the effort of getting to in a taxi. It's a llovely building which tells a really good story about Singapore history. It's also very touching and humbling. Take some tissues if your prone to a rush of emotion. It's really cheap to visit and totally worth some of your time. You won't... More

A quiet place hidden from view and not very well known. It is not easily accessible unless you have a car or unless you are exploring the Southern Ridges trail on foot. It depicts the last stand of the Malay regiment who were volunteers defending that very area against the Japanese troops, fighting to the last man. Use of multimedia... More
