Jan Morris on British surrender in Singapore
Travel writer Jan Morris dabs his writing pen at Singapore's history, as he examines the surrender by the British on Feb 15, 1942, to the Japanese. Every schoolboy in Singapore probably knows what had happened (unless they've been falling asleep in class), and how the overconfident British forces had fallen in mere days. And he even works in a Wordsworth quote. As for the ghosts that might still be in there, Singapore's version of Mulder and Scully, the SPI, have checked it out, and apparently didn't find any ghost cars around. For more information about locating that Ford Factory, this website provides a good map and nearby landmarks.
