With the Pasir Panjang Guides of the
Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, NUS
Supported by the Reflections of Bukit Chandu, NAS, NHB.

The battle accounts left a strong impression on us, and so every year we
commemorate the Malay Regiment's defense of the ridge and share with
visitors the stories about the Battle of Pasir Panjang as well as the
geography, flora and fauna that first brought us to this ridge.
All are welcome. Interested individuals should be physically fit enough to
walk 3km at a moderately quick pace. We will reach the Reflections at Bukit
Chandu (RBC), the World War II Interpretative Centre via Kent Ridge Road,
The Gap and Kent Ridge Park.
To register,
- Please send an email to Quek Kiah Shen at pasirpanjang@...
- Include your full name,

- the number of friends/family who will be accompanying you.

Registered participants will meet the Raffles Museum Pasir Panjang Guides at
the University Cultural Centre at 7am.
