Fort Siloso, like several attractions in Singapore, can teach you about WW2. It didn't go well here. A key point was that the Brits were looking south, at this beach, whereas the Japanese came from the north. (Fun fact, the middle island is the Southern-most part of continental Asia, even though it's an island south of 2 increasingly larger islands, and north of Indonesia's 17 thousand islands).
They were paler than we expected.
Many war bunkers, tunnels, forts and artifacts can be seen. In fact, an unexploded Japanese bomb was found at a construction site lately.
Singapore was occupied by the Japanese during WW2, then handed back thereafter, with the locals increasingly disillusioned by colonialism and their leaders' haircuts.
Speaking of invasive species, each time I try to biology, I find out that our plants are invasive too!
Behold the knobweed/false ironwort above, and the giant sensitive tree below. Knobby is "naturalized", whereas bashfulplant buddy is one of the world's top 100 nastiest invasive species. 
So no more speciesing. Let's find big leaves in the jungle.
It does rain in this climate.
In case you wondered why Bukit Brown cemetery is so undulating and eroded, go there during the rain.
The paths between the (1930s-60s) graves become drainage ditches.
It's quite refreshing. No one else goes, and you don't get too hot.
I think this is closer to Singapore's original state. You can see how they might not have found all of the unexploded bombs.
