Uphill search

To Lorong Sesuai, 53 km. It still stands in infamy and steeped in history as the place where the "title deeds" of one colonial power (the British) where handed to another (the Japanese). The Ford Motor Factory is where the British surrendered and signed over Singapore to the Imperial Japanese Army in 1942. I cycle up and find the memorial to the war dead, but there's no sign of the factory. Nor are there directional signs in the area, though there are ironically signs aplenty to the Ministry of Defence complex, which I'd have thought should be more hush hush. It's harder to find one factory than two elephants, along Mandai Road.
