Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys journey back to one of the most dramatic chapters in Singapore’s wartime history. Joining us in the studio are Goh Chour Thong, Director (International & Museum Relations) at the National Heritage Board, and Jerome Lim, heritage veteran and guide for two of this year’s signature programmes.

For the first time, Battle for Singapore 2026 invites the public to retrace the actual maritime evacuation routes used by civilians fleeing Japanese bombardment in February 1942. The new programme, Passages at Last Light, takes participants across land, sea and even “air”, with special‑access tours to Tengah Air Base—once the first command centre of the Japanese forces. From boat rides along Singapore’s southern waters to walking the same paths taken by desperate families, this immersive experience brings to life the fear, resilience and human stories behind the Fall of Singapore.

Chour Thong shares how NHB curated more than 30 programmes this year—from talks and exhibitions to hands‑on family activities like LEGO “rebuild Singapore” stations at Changi Chapel and Museum. Jerome offers a glimpse into the lesser‑known narratives uncovered in his tours, including the Naval Volunteer Reserve and Cashin House’s role as a witness to invasion.
