Yellow Bear
★★★★★11 months agoThis was a factory for Ford Vehicles in 1941. It became the Site of British Surrender on 15 February 1942 (when the British Army surrendered to the Japanese in the factory’s boardroom) and was gazetted as a National Monument in 2006. This museum is small but well maintained and informative. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in World War Two History in Singapore. ** Free admission for locals, $7.13 for foreign visitors ( as of 2025 ). ** Free guided tours (in English) on Saturdays and Sundays (11am and 3.30pm). ** Closed on Mondays

★★★★★3 months agoI visited the Former Ford Factory and found it very interesting and meaningful. The exhibits clearly showed how people suffered during World War II, including how the Japanese treated civilians harshly during the occupation. It gave me a deeper appreciation of Singapore’s history. A good place to visit for both learning and reflection.
