57th War Memorial Service by SCCCI

The 57th War Memorial Service was held at the Civilian War Memorial on 15th February 2024. Organised by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI), the event is held annually to commemorate the sacrifice of civilians during the Japanese occupation of Singapore.

The event saw a memorial service that brought together families of the victims, members of the SCCCI, representatives from the military, leaders of the different religious groups of Singapore as well as students from various schools paying tribute to the victims of war.

The four pillars of the Civilian War Memorial symbolises the shared suffering of the main ethnic groups and the perished. The service served a timely reminder to our CCKsians that our peace cannot be taken for granted and every one of us can and must play a part towards Total Defence.
