The Civilian War Memorial

The Civilian War Memorial, also known as the Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation, is a war memorial and heritage landmark in Singapore, located near to the Esplanade MRT station. It was constructed in honor of the residents who died during the Japanese occupation of Singapore during WWII.

The Civilian War Memorial is located on peaceful parkland near Singapore's Padang and City Hall, in the midst of heavy city traffic. It is usually simple to notice in most backdrops surrounding the CBD landscape because it is located within the War Memorial Park at Beach Road within the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. On August 15, 2013, it was designated as the 65th national memorial.

Make sure to put this on your schedule because of its historical significance. It’s one of the best ways to acknowledge the sacrifices of the victims of the Japanese regime.
