Battle of Pasir Panjang

Examine the Hardship ...
as you relocate yourself to 1942. Experience peering through a pillbox ... waiting for the enemy and witnessing the destruction of war - cleverly presented by a narrator (done in Pepper's Ghost* effect). Examine the dampness, the anticipation, the anxiety.
 
* Pepper's Ghost Effect - A visual effect created by reflecting images from projector devices, placed at a 45 degree, onto a parallel suspended piece of glass. The glass has a layer of quarter-silver applied on it and is place before a static background model. Audiences will, therefore, see the moving "ghost" amidst the terrain of the background. (232KB)
