Pasir Panjang Pillbox, World War II military pillbox in Pasir Panjang, Singapore
The reinforced concrete defensive structure features two gun embrasures and a rounded observation cupola positioned on its roof for surveillance purposes.
The Malay Regiment utilized this fortification during intense combat against the Japanese 18th Division advancing on Pasir Panjang Ridge in February 1942.
A National Heritage Board memorial plaque at the site documents the military history and strategic importance of this coastal defense structure.
Located near the intersection of Pasir Panjang Road and Science Park Road, the structure remains sealed for safety while exterior viewing is permitted.
This pillbox represents one of the few remaining intact machine gun fortifications from Singapore's pre-war British coastal defense network.
