β β β β β This history-rich location was a good educational tour to learn more about the past of Singapore, especially during ww2 and the origins of the name bukit chandu.

β β β β β Reflective place. Do try to join a curator tour as the volunteer guides are very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the knowledge and the history of the malay regiment.

β β β β β Small museum that will take less than an hour to finish viewing. Itβs on top of the hill and a good workout getting there from the main road if you are going via public transport. The museum is connected to the trail of the Southern Ridges, which will be either a good pit stop or starting point for your hike/walk. Admission is free for Singapore Citizen, Non-citizen is $5.

β β β β β The museum sits in a large colonial house atop a hill on Pepys Road. I was the only visitor that weekday afternoon and it was amazing just having the whole house to myself. The exhibits recollects the battle at Pasir Panjang between the Malay Regiment and the Japanese troops during WWII and recounts artistically the history of the troops, the battle and the area, which was an opium plantation and close to the beach - I didn't realise. The exhibits were very neatly displayed, the house kept in immaculate condition, and the 10-minute presentation was tastefully done. I finished the tour in less than an hour.

β β β β β A thoughtfully curated and serene museum. Takes a bit of a hike to get here, but it provides a nice rest stop on your hike. About a 30-min visit. The first floor delves into the history and contributions of the Malay Regiment while the second floor gives a little peek into the hill's origins hosting an opium factory. Free for Singaporeans too.

β β β β β If I were to compare it with the other museums in Singapore, this has got to be the museum which you can cover within half an hour.
There are many things you can learn about WW2 in this historic site, atop a hill, about the Malay Regiment and opium.
But itβs not as interactive as other museums. Iβd recommend this as a pit stop for trekkers who are hiking along Kent ridge trail!

β β β β β Spent about 30 mins here with my family. We started the hike from Hort Park to Canopy Walk and stumbled upon this place. Nice exhibition in a bungalow with air con, multi-sensory displays and artifacts to learn about the brave fights during war world 2 and its history as a opium-packing factory.

β β β β β Good place to know the history of Singapore. High up on the hill which needs a long walk if without a car. Thereβs a little showroom with film for every 10 mins to show the battle between Japanese and the Malay regiment. Free of tickets.
