Pasir Panjang Pillbox
Résumé
Pasir Panjang Pillbox is a strengthened-concrete defensive structure from WWII, located in Pasir Panjang in the southwestern area of Singapore.
In advance of the Japanese invasion of Malaya and Singapore between 1941 and 1942 during World War II, a number of concrete-built defensive pillboxes were built along Singapore's eastern and western coasts.
