Our next stop was the Kranji War Memorial, I believe a memorial for world war 2 heroes in Singapore. From wikipedia:
"Dedicated to the men and women from United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka, India, Malaya, the Netherlands and New Zealand who died defending Singapore and Malaya against the invading Japanese forces during World War II, it comprises the War Graves, the Memorial Walls, the State Cemetery, and the Military Graves."
The memorial is beautiful with nice views around. They picked a very nice place for the memorial, quiet, tranquil, peaceful.
Our guide told us a lot of Australian tourists visit the Kranji War Memorial to pay their respects to the fallen heroes. We found the tomb of the unknown Australian soldier! Well, our guide helped point it out to us... =)
I didn't realize it too at the time, but the buildings in the horizon in this photo is actually Johor Bahru, Malaysia! The memorial is nice and I think is worth a visit if ever you're in this neck of the woods.
