Approaching Singapore City from the west, a seasoned Japanese army is forced to engage the small force of the Malay Regiment on the high ground of Pasir Panjang Ridge.A fierce battle is put up by men of the Malay Regiment amidst the confusion of aerial and artillery bombardment, smoke of a burning fuel dump, loss of communications and the early deaths of senior officers who had moved about to keep their men coordinated.They would battle on for nearly two days and the company is wiped almost to the last man by the numerically superior Japanese on the eve of Chinese New Year.The next day, on 15th of February, 1942, General Percival marches down Bukit Timah Road to surrender to General Tomoyuki Yamashita of the Japanese Imperial Army at the Ford Factory.The National University of Singapore is built on part of the old battleground and its forest still contains a 1930's military outpost which strategically oversees Jurong, Bukit Timah and Singapore City. In 1954, the Pasir Panjang ridge was renamed 'Kent Ridge,' and the old stone marker which commemorates this event persists to this day at the Gap, though it is often overlooked.The account of the heroic battle left a strong impression on the Pasir Panjang Heritage Guides, so we have humbly commemorated the Malay Regiment's defense of the ridge every year since 2002. We share with you stories about the Battle of Pasir Panjang, the geography, history and the flora and fauna of the area that first drew us to explore the ridge decades ago and explain how the ridge got its name. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1c01b380-f760-11f0-ac63-75911b46e902-rimg-w1110-h740-dc77acd4-gmir.jpg The day of the walkMeet us at the open space, Ascent Building, Science Park One (junction of Science Park Drive and South Buona Vista Road)Please wear good walking shoes, bring at least a litre of water, some sandwiches or snacks in case you get hungry during the walkWe recommend a hat or umbrella for protection from the sunRain is always possible so do bring an umbrella and waterproof your barang-barang!If sensitive to mosquitoes, bring insect repellentThere is a washroom at Science Park One, thereafter only at Kent Ridge Park Car Park BLinksPasir Panjang/Kent Ridge Heritage webpage [link]"Battle of Pasir Panjang Commemorative Walk 2009 Review," by Kenneth Pinto.
