Former Ford Factory

351 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, Singapore 588192

Art Deco factory where British forces surrendered to Japan on 15 February 1942.

This guide to the Former Ford Factory in Singapore sets up the boardroom meeting of 15 February 1942, where a Japanese general with a fraction of his opponent's troops and a collapsing supply line sat down with a British commander running out of water for a million people. It follows General Yamashita's own later admission about the risk he was taking, and General Percival's exhausted arrival at the table after Singapore's reservoirs had been bombed.
