Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sunset at Punggol Beach, Singapore.

An unusual discovery at Punggol beach dug up a slice of history that many Singaporeans are not aware of. Punggol beach used to be one of the Japanese killing fields during the Second World War. On 28 February 1942, about 1,000 Chinese from the area around Upper Serangoon Road were rounded up by the Japanese as part of the Sook Ching or mopping-up operation. All were executed at this beach as punishment for their resistance activities.

Punggol Beach is now on the National Heritage Board's list of historical sites. The marking of the Punggol Beach massacre site was part of a series of such events organised in 1995 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the end of World War II.
