SS Learning Journey

We went to the Reflections at Bukit Chandu and Old Fort Factory. The Reflections at Bukit Chandu is located at 31-K Pepys Road while Old Fort Factory is at 351 Upper Bukit Timah Road. Without this two places, the next generation will not know what happened during World War II. There is a message in Old Fort Factory, "44 months of the Japanese Occupation brought immense pain, suffering and many losses for many people who lost family members and friends and probably a part of themselves died along with them. For the rest who stayed put during the Japanese Occupation , they saw the ugly side of human nature and its capacity of evil and creulty. However they also saw the best that such extremities brought out in people - courage , determination , survival skills , reselience ane the self acts of goodwill demostrated by many. Many innvaluable lessons were learnt and many came away with a deeper appreciation for life. Many of these lessons are still relevant today as well as for future generations to come."
