📍A bit about Punggol Beach

When you think of beaches in Singapore, Punggol Beach probably isn’t the first place that pops into mind. Surprisingly, the North East has one of the most aesthetic beaches on our little red dot to visit; especially if you’re not too keen on squeezing with the crowds at East Coast Park or Sentosa.
As picturesque as this beach may be, it’s also important to recognise its tragic past. Originally used as one of the spots for the Sook Ching Massacres during the Second World War, Punggol Beach is laden with history.
On 28th February 1942, a group of over 400 Chinese men were gunned down by the Japanese hojo kempei (military police) firing squad on the grounds of being anti-Japanese. Many of these accusations were never proven to be true, and thousands of innocent lives were lost over the course of Operation Sook Ching.
After the massacre, the hundreds of bodies on Punggol Beach were thrown into the ocean and up until 1997, human remains could still be found. While it has since been cleaned up and is now teeming with visitors, memorial plaques have been installed and the beach is officially on the National Heritage Board’s list of historical sites in Singapore.
