The Singapore Peace Monument was built on February 15, 1967, to commemorate civilians massacred during the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II. The Peace Monument is located in a memorial park on the seafront, consisting of four 70-meter white conical pillars representing four local cultures, and people come here to mourn each year on the inauguration of the monument. Now skyscrapers have been built around the monument, and the towering monuments of the past seem small, but the white columns are more unique.
