HISTORY OF PUNGGOL BEACH ; 9:39 pm

PUNGGOL BEACH: WORLD WAR II SITE.

I was finding info about Punggol End.
Here's some explanation that clearly answered my doubts.

A plaque, erected by the National Heritage Board in memory of those Chinese civilians who were victims of the Japanese Sook Ching operation during World War II, tells of its heritage.
"On 28 February 1942, some 300-400 Chinese civilians were killed along the Punggol Foreshore by hojo kempei (auxiliary military police) firing squads. They were among tens of thousands who lost their lives during the Japanese Sook Ching operation to purge suspected anti-Japanese civilians within Singapore's Chinese Population between 18 February to 4 March 1942. The victims who perished along the foreshore were among 1,000 Chinese mates rounded up following a house-to-house search of the Chinese community living along Upper Serangoon Road by Japanese Soldiers."

Regulars at the Punggol beach were not surprised."Every once in a while, someone will pick up some human remains from the beach, " said Mr Lok Ah See, 64, an attendant at the petrol kiosk near the beach."A regular fisherman at Punggol jetty said: "It is not unusual for us to fish up a set of teeth belonging to those who had been executed.""Most people are usually quite 'pantang' (superstitious)."So, even if they see any human skeletons lying around, they will pretend not to see it."

Now it explains why I found bones there.
And it also explains why Saufi said the police guard there were heck care about it.
Nevertheless, I'm going back there again.

Anyway, we can have picnic at Punggol Beach instead of East Coast. :)
