National Heritage Board's 70th Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore Trails.

The National Heritage Board (NHB) 's 70th Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore Trails aim to connect the elderly with the youth. Their purpose is for the elderly to share their stories and post WWII experiences with the youth to instil in them the importance of Total Defence of Singapore.

In addition, it aims to strengthen the inter-generation bonds - while it provides a collaborative platform for the elderly to reminisce their past, it also strengthens the young's sense of cultural heritage.

This Trails is in collaboration with National Junior College, their students are facilitating the trails on 11 February 2012, from 9.00 am to 11.00 am. The participants are from Moulmein Division - Pek Kio Senior Citizens Club members.
