★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Although not the most uplifting of places, I believe that we should all visit war cemeteries, to remind ourselves that our freedom is as a result of the sacrifices of others.
As you enter the cemetery you will see the Stone of Remembrance near the entrance to the Cross of Sacrifice, leading to a terrace with four memorials. The largest of these is the Singapore Memorial, engraved with the names of 25,000 soldiers and airmen. This memorial looks like a plane with a star at the top of a single pylon. It was unveiled in 1957 and overlooks the Johor straits where the Japanese first landed in Singapore.
The cemetery is beautifully maintained and is definitely worth a visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A good place to pay your respect to the country elders and to those who have fallen during WWII. Too bad it was closed in the weekend due to Covid...It is open for the weekdays only during this stressing time of Covid.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visit few times when I was young, been so many years not coming back and this my first time return for so long. Even forget that Yusof Ishak grave is outside.
The only downside is there's no toilet, food and water. Plus walking uphill is not for everyone. So if you are planning to visit, just be prepared before coming here.
Most things you need are at kranji mrt and better take by bus. It may look near by map but it really far for those who walk.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very well maintained memorial. The place has a respectful feel for all the fallen soldiers, and it is well marked and laid out. If you are a history person this should be a must stop on the itinerary.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very peaceful and beautiful place. Well-kept with pretty flowers too. I feel like it's a place you could go to sit with your thoughts if you wanted to. I did encounter quite a lot of insects flying around me though.
Note: Don't be alarmed by the closed gate as you head towards the memorial because you have to go to the side gate to do trace together check-in now.
