This site was one of the temporary registration centres of the Kempeitai Military Police, the Kempetai, for screening anti-Japanese Chinese. On 18th February 1942, three days after their capture of Singapore, the Kempetai commenced the Sook Ching operation aimed at eliminating anti-Japanese elements in an operation named "Operation Cleanup". All Chinese men between 18 and 50 years and later extended to women and children, were ordered to report to these temporary registration centres to be screened for anti-Japanese sympathies by the Kempei-tai and their bonded informants. Those who passed the arbitrary screening were released with the word "Examined" stamped on the face or on clothes. Others not so fortunate were taken to outlying parts of Singapore and executed for being anti-Japanese activities. Tens of thousands were estimated to have lost their lives.
For those who were spared, the Sook Ching screening remains one of their worst memories of the Japanese Occupation.]Tempat ini ialah salah sebuah pusat pendaftaran sementara bagi pihak polis tentera Jepun, Kempeitai, untuk memeriksa orang Cina anti-Jepun. Pada 18 Februari 1942, tiga hari selepas penawanan Singapura, Kempeitai telah memulakan "Operasi Sook Ching" yang bertujuan untuk menghapuskan unsur-unsur anti-Jepun di kalangan orang Cina. Semua lelaki Cina antara 18 hingga 50 tahun, dan kemudian dilanjutkan kepada wanita dan kanak-kanak, diperintahkan untuk melapor ke pusat-pusat pendaftaran sementara ini bagi pemeriksaan untuk simpati anti-Jepun oleh Kempeitai dan tali barut mereka. Mereka yang lulus pemeriksaan sewenang-wenangnya dibebaskan dengan perkataan "Diperiksa" dicop pada muka atau pada pakaian. Yang lain tidak begitu bernasib baik telah dibawa ke kawasan pinggir Singapura dan dihukum bunuh kerana aktiviti anti-Jepun. Puluhan ribu dianggarkan telah kehilangan nyawa mereka.
Bagi mereka yang terselamat, pemeriksaan Sook Ching tetap menjadi salah satu kenangan terburuk mereka tentang Pendudukan Jepun.] [see left panel]Licensing
