Reflections At Bukit Chandu Opening Weekend Programmes

REFLECTIONS AT BUKIT CHANDU REOPENS TO SHARE STORIES OF THE MALAY REGIMENT IN THE BATTLE OF PASIR PANJANG

Reflections at Bukit Chandu (RBC) will be reopening its doors to the public on 9 September 2021. Managed by the National Museum of Singapore, under the National Heritage Board, the newly revamped RBC reopens with an enhanced retelling of the stories of the Malay Regiment in the Battle of Pasir Panjang, during which the heavily outnumbered soldiers from the regiment made a heroic last stand against a 13,000-strong Japanese force. The World War Two interpretative centre will also explore the site-specific history of Pasir Panjang and Bukit Chandu with new displays and artefacts.

Join us for the Opening Weekend on 11 and 12 September 2021 with a self-guided scavenger hunt that will immerse you in the galleries and surroundings. To commemorate the anniversary of the Japanese surrender, we will be offering complimentary livestreamed tours of both of our World War Two memorial sites, RBC and Changi Chapel and Museum, in September. The curator tour of RBC will be livestreamed on our Facebook page on 16 September.
