Bukit Timah Road Occupied by the Japanese
When the last defense stand happened against the Japanese army that was invading, Bukit Timah Road was already constructed. On 11/02/1942, when there was the second world war, the British were forced to lose Bukit Timah and the road to the Japanese since they knew that the chances of them continuing with the island defense were very little. The reason was that all of British supplies and food were stored in Bukit Timah which was then taken by the Japanese.
It is widely known that the famous Bukit Timah Road became among the earliest roads to be constructed in Singapore. When the Japanese occupied Bukit Timah, their troops then built a Shinto shrine, syonan jinja ( the Singapore’s occupation name was then syonan jinja), which resembled the Yakusuni shrine that was located in Japan but that in Bukit Timah was somehow smaller compared to the one in Japan. Two of the Japanese memorials died during the war and those of British and its empire that died while protecting Singapore had to be built towards the site. British POW’s representatives, Japanese commanders, and students had to gather at the site during various occupations to give their last respect.
