This is a great place to go for a walk or run right in the heart of the city. If you are feeling like some rather cliched 'eductainment', visit the Battle Box which is in the park.

I didn't measure it but the main path circling close to the perimeter of the... More

If you've been to the War Rooms in London, and liked that, you'll also like the tour at Fort Canning. A very interesting and fairly objective view of the history of the defense of Singapore and of its surrender to the Japanese in World War II. More
