Changi Museum
It was here, during WW II, that Allied POW soldiers were
subjected to harsh treatment at the hands of their Japanese
captors. Changi Prison is still in use as a correctional facility
and it is the place of execution for convicted drug offenders. Half
a mile (1km) from the old site, next to the prison, is the new
Changi Chapel and Museum. The display of photographs, letters and
drawings in the museum are a moving tribute to the legacy of the
Japanese occupation. During this period that spanned three and a
half years more than 50,000 civilians and soldiers were captured
and imprisoned. Visitors have access to a variety of videos and
literature relating to the war years.
