Changi Chapel and Museum stands as a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. This space is more than a sober reminder of war’s violence.

Success is not an event, it is a process. To finish any great endeavour we must first start. This may not be the start of a new business but could simply be the start of a new idea, a new path, or a new way. To be a standout success is to take each new beginning and follow it through to the end. The success journey is the process of working through each step to arrive at the next one, with each step motivating and inspiring you to press on without fail.

National service is a need and not an option. We need to maintain successful, we must not rely on others we should depends on ourselves.

Nevertheless with the demographic changes in our country, we should embrace technologies to improve ourselves and not looking at immigrants or mercenaries to help us to protect and defence.

We should also start thinking the “How” to educate our PRs that Singapore is the land to protect and defence.

Won’t let history repeated

The chronometer was part of a cargo ship that survived a bombing and made it safely to shore.

Back in the days when navigation was slightly different this device was really what helped the ship navigate safely when sailing out at sea.

Probably if it was damaged the ship may have lost its way out at sea and never made it back to shore

Take care of our equipment well and it will back us up and bring us back to shore safely.

This was so back in the day and still holds true today.

Changi Museum evokes reflection on the harsh realities of WWII. Exhibits convey the resilience of those who endured captivity, honoring their stories. It serves as a poignant reminder of human strength amid adversity, urging us to cherish peace and learn from the lessons of history.

Do not get complacent in times of peace

One key insight I gained was the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of adversity. Despite being from different backgrounds and nationalities, the prisoners at Changi formed strong bonds and supported one another. They created makeshift chapels, organized educational programs, and even staged performances to uplift spirits and maintain a sense of community. This demonstrated that a shared commitment to defend can bring people together and help them overcome even the most challenging circumstances.

I was inspired by the spirit of POWs who can perform and write storyline and further put up acts to please others and themselves in a time where everyone are exhausted with the war.

We should not take take peace for

granted and to stand by each other in one way or another . One for all n all for one.

We need to protect our own country and not to be complacent. Have the spirit to fight til the end.
