In Memory of the unfortunate Chinese victims…

In Memory of the unfortunate Chinese victims during the Japanese occupation in Malacca.
When the Japanese invaded China, the Overseas Chinese everywhere formed anti-Japanese movements. Their resistance included remittance to China and also taking up arms along-side the Allies in defense of their countries of residence.
Malacca fell into the hands of the Japanese on the 15th day of January, 1942.
Thousands of Chinese lost their lives. The methods of execution were barbaric and inhuman. Burying a few hundred people alive in a well and throwing babies and children into the air and catching them with fixed bayonets are but two of the many awesome methods adopted.
After the surrender of the Japanese, the remains of these victims were collected from various known places by the Chinese residents and collectively buried at the foot of this Bukit China Hill.
This monument erected in memory of these unfortunate and heroin dead was unveiled officially by His Excellency Sir Edward Gent then High Commissioner of The Federation of Malaya, on the 5th day of April 1948.
In Memory of the unfortunate Chinese victims…

Merlion

Merlion
The Merlion (Malay: Singa-Laut) is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot of Singapore. Its name combines “mer” meaning the sea and “lion”. The fish body represents Singapore’s origin as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which means “sea town” in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore’s original name — Singapura — meaning “lion city” or “kota singa”. More on wikipedia
