Learning Points

Overview

Entrance to the now restored factory

History not only helps us know how life was like in the past, it also shows us the mistakes and achievements of earlier generations. Taking history as a lesson, we must learn from the event that took place at the Old Ford Factory as well as those that led to and were a direct consequence of this event. The Battle for Singapore, the British surrender as well as the Japanese Occupation of Singapore are all major events that are tied to the Old Ford Factory as the surrender that took place there marked the end of the battle and the beginning of the Japanese Occupation.

It will be pointless for us to know what happened during these historic events if we fail to learn from them. The lessons that we can learn from these events are still applicable today and this is why we should always treasure such learning opportunities. Let us now take a closer look at what our team has learnt from these events.

Thus we can see that the lessons learnt from these conflicts are still applicable today and this is the reason why we should always treasure such learning opportunities. Not only do they provide us with a glimpse of how life was then, they also allow us to better our lives as well as those of people around us.
