Kranji War Memorial is the final resting place of 4,461 men and women who fought and perished in Malaya and Singapore during World War II. The walls of the Memorial a Kranji honour more than 24,000 war dead whose remains were never found.

In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Battle for Singapore, the National Heritage Board, in partnership with the Changi Museum, is holding a Remembrance Ceremony to honour the memory of those who lost their lives during the war in the defence of Singapore.

On Wednesday 15 February, at the exact time when the British surrender of Singapore to the Japanese was formalised – a bell will be rung five times to symbolise the five years of the war in the Pacific. There will be prayers by religious leaders, wreath laying by Ministers, High Commissioners and Ambassadors, veterans and other representatives.

Other events will be held this year to mark the 70 year anniversary.
