Civilian War Memorial

The Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation, usually called the Civilian War Memorial (Malay: Tugu Peringatan Bagi Mangsa Awam Pemerintahan Jepun), is a war memorial and heritage landmark in Singapore next to Esplanade MRT station. It was built in memory of the civilians killed during the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II. The Civilian War Memorial sits on serene parkland in the midst of busy city traffic near Singapore's Padang and City Hall. Located within the War Memorial Park at Beach Road within the Central Area, Singapore's central business district, it is usually easy to spot in most backdrops encompassing the CBD landscape. It was gazetted as the 65th national memorial on 15 August 2013.
