BRAS BASAH “LIVE” VIRTUAL TOUR “LIVING IN SYONAN-TO”

Description of Programme


“Live” Virtual Tour

“Live” Virtual Tours are suitable alternatives to outdoor NE tours. Participants will join in via a video platform and a “live” video steam will be established with the guide on-site. Follow the guide around various places of interest, hear their stories, and interact via a live chat box. Be engaged in online games (e.g. Bingo, spot the difference, etc) to increase engagement and have fun while learning.

“Living in Syonan-To”

The Japanese Occupation of Syonan-to is a distant memory, a memory that bears little relevance to our lives today. Yet, there are countless lessons from this period that we must remember, and untold stories of bravery and resilience that we must honour. Follow us on this virtual experience as you deepen your understanding of life during the Occupation. Together, let us reaffirm the importance of Total Defence, and celebrate the resilience of our people.

Key Takeaways
• Experience the type of Japanese propaganda that was used during the occupation and hear the horror stories of those that refused to conform to Japanese Military superiority.

• Understand the harshness of daily life, and the scarcity of food in this period. Recalibrate your understanding of money as it was used under the Japanese Military administration.

• Remember the sacrifice made by the generation that lived through the war and make a commitment to never have Singaporeans experience what they did again through Total Defence.
