Its regular exhibition is about history of Singapore after Age of Discovery.
During World War 2, it focuses on invasion by Empire of Japan. I didn't know that surrender of UK was announced in Ford Factory in Bukit Timah, and that imprisoned people were sent to Death Railway between Thailand and Myammar.

We headed for Changi International Airport via NE Line, Little India, Downtown Line, EXPO, and EW Line.

In JEWEL, the shopping mall annexed with the airport, we met a friend of mine, who is in charge of expat in Malaysia.
He said it's easier to find people with face masks in Singapore than in Malaysia.

We ate sushi in JEWEL, because we had to wait more than 2 hours to eat at scheduled restaurant.

After saying goodbye to him, we stayed at a hotel in JEWEL.
