Students discover WWII S'pore
AS PART of the International Museum Day 2009 celebrations, the National Heritage Board launched its pilot tour, War on Wheels.

The aim of the nine-day programme was to expose some 26 Nanyang Girls' High School students to significant war sites in Singapore as well as to serve as a history lesson out of the classroom on World War II.

The sites include the Japanese landing site in Kranji, to the War Memorial, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the Old Ford Factory, Alexandra Hospital, Labrador Park and ended at Bukit Chandu.

Said 15-year-old student Angeline Tan, 'It's important to know what our ancestors have done in the past to preserve Singapore so as to better enable us to appreciate what we have now.

Razor TV joins the tour on its last leg of the journey.
