One of the most meaningful and important stops during a visit to Sandakan is the Sandakan War Memorial. This solemn site marks the original grounds where Australian and British prisoners of war, along with local civilians, were interned and forced into labor from 1942 to 1945 during World War II.
In the photo, Mr. Ken Ching, the group leader for these students from Hong Kong, provides an insightful explanation about the historical events that took place here.
This group is currently on a 4-day, 3-night educational tour exploring the rich history, culture, and nature of Sandakan.
