The first impression i had when i stepped into changi museum was that it
seemed to be very informative. I was correct but the m,useum was quite small
though. The guide led us around the museum and what i really found
interesting was how much the prisoners actually believed in God. Murals and
the golden cross were examples of what they did to show their bellief for
god, their belief that the next day would be a better one.When i saw the
photos of how thin the prisoners were, i had mixed feelings of disgust and
sympathy. I was disgusted at how skinny they had became due to malnutruiton
but i also sympathised with them becasuse of this point. We also went
through some of the tortues the japanese did on the prisoners.I was very
scred and afraid when i learnt about them. I cant imagine if those tortures
were performed on me, i would probably be lying there screaming in pain.

After all that i had saw, it evoked a sens of sympathy and angfer. I
sympathised with the prisoners and at the same time, was very angry with the
japanese for their inhumane behavior.I cant help feeling that all these must
never repeat again,never ever agian. What the prisoners had gone through, we
can never understand for we had never expereinced it and i defintely do not
wish to expereince it. Howbver it gave me an idea of what they went through
and i admired them for their courage, tolerance and perserverance.Some
prisoners survived to shaare with us their accountsd and i feel that these
accounts should be treasured. We are becoming more and more detached from
the history, our heritage. Most of us would not even bothger about our
history. Thus i feel that this tri[ to the museum had definteluy enabled me
to learn a lot more.
