Bukit Batok Memorial (Syonan Chureito Site)
The Bukit Batok Memorial is located on top of the tranquil Bukit Batok Hill upon which once stood two war memorials built by Australian POWs to commemorate the war dead of the Japanese & the Allies who fought during the decisive Battle of Bukit Timah in Singapore during WWII.

So where do the 123 steps lead to? To be concise, the back gate of the Bukit Batok Transmission Centre. There's a commanding guard tower next to the gate

DO NOT climb the steps which is leading to NOWHERE. Just take a photo with the steps and claim your achievement online.
Come learn about Syonan Chureito, the Japanese memorial to their war dead, that once stood on this site. Plus the smaller memorial to British and Australia war dead that also stood here.
Good view of Marina Bay Sands when skies are clear
